Welcome to Bumbles Melling Nursery

Welcome to Melling Nursery
Following the success of our highly sought-after Maghull nursery, which has an extensive two-year waiting list, we were delighted when the opportunity arose to purchase the former Pear Tree Inn in Melling and bring the Bumbles experience to even more local families.
The building has undergone an incredible transformation, creating a beautiful, bright and spacious nursery designed to encourage independence and nurture every child’s development. Experience three stunning classrooms, brand-new resources, a fantastic outdoor play area, and a dedicated space for extracurricular activities.

Bees Babies – The Baby Room
Thoughtfully designed to provide a calm, nurturing and homely environment where our youngest children can feel safe, secure and confident as they begin their learning journey. Every area has been carefully planned for sensory exploration, early movement, and stimulating activities that support babies’ earliest stages of development. Equipped with cosy spaces for cuddles and quiet time.
The room benefits from direct access to our beautiful garden, and also features a dedicated sleep area, purpose-built changing facilities and its own milk kitchen. Flooded with natural light from its large windows, the room features a stunning custom made stained-glass window, creating a truly unique and welcoming space.
Honey Bees – The Toddler Room
Our Honey Bees room is a beautifully renovated, bright and spacious environment, bursting with exciting opportunities for our curious and increasingly independent toddlers. The room has been carefully designed with a variety of engaging learning areas, encouraging children to explore, investigate, and develop their growing confidence, along with purpose-built toilets and changing facilities.
With direct access to our fantastic outdoor play area, children can enjoy a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor learning. We have also created cosy spaces for quieter activities, recognising the importance of balancing active exploration with opportunities to relax and connect.
Bizzy Bees – The Pre-School Room
Our Bizzy Bees pre-school room includes dedicated spaces for early literacy and mathematics, imaginative role play, construction, creative expression, and quiet reading. Our environment encourages children to take ownership of their learning, make independent choices and develop essential life skills.
A particularly exciting feature is our dedicated extracurricular and group learning room, providing additional space for specialist activities, enrichment sessions and learning beyond the main classroom. This room also benefits from its own toilets, changing facilities, and direct access to our beautiful garden.
