Introduction
This web site is designed to assist you in your search for the best possible nursery environment to suit the needs of your child. Staff at Monkton will be happy to discuss the activities which your child will enjoy here.

“Monkton” is a late Victorian house, (1881), which has been adapted to nursery use.  The nursery is situated close to Queens Drive, convenient for Nos 80, 61 and 68 bus routes, and only 100 yards from Mossley Hill Station. The extensive mature gardens are safely enclosed and incorporate outside play areas with play houses, slides, swings, climbing frames, bicycles and push along trucks; equipment which will develop muscle tone and co-ordination. The gardens also offer woodland and discovery areas together with vegetable, salad and flower beds where the children grow their own produce. The driveway offers safe car parking facilities, and parents are encouraged to use this area. The ground floor accommodates children from one to three years, whilst the first floor rooms are dedicated to the needs of the Early Years Foundation group of three to five year olds.
 
 
Monkton Day Nursery School is commited to nurturing your child until they enter school
The nursery was established in 1980 by Dr Sue Poole as the first nursery in Liverpool to offer combined day care and education.  Apart from a degree in English and Early Years Education, Sue has a Masters degree and Ph.D in Design and Architectural History, and she was an Ofsted Registered Inspector of Nurseries for six years. She is also a mother of two adult daughters, Eve and Lydia.

Monkton is a member of the National Day Nurseries Association, and has followed its Quality Assurance accreditation scheme.
