About Us 

At Merry Go Round Day Nursery, located in Green Croft and Riverside, Hereford, we proudly follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Reggio Approach to Learning. Under the expert management of Nicki Ovel (Manager/Owner) and Sharon Parham (Manager/SENCo), along with our exceptional team, we provide the highest quality education and care for children under 5 years old.

We believe in giving young children the building blocks they need to develop, achieve, and grow to their full potential. Our tailor-made curriculum embraces the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS framework), the Reggio Approach to Learning, the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Code of Practice, and Birth to Five Matters. We continuously adapt our curriculum to stay aligned with current guidance and legislation, ensuring that we meet the unique needs of every child.

Absolutely lovely nursery. My son loved it and is very sad to be leaving here to go to school. Friendly staff and a really nice nursery setting with plenty of space and things to do.
