FIVE SETTINGS. ONE SHARED VISION.

A connected family of nurseries where every child is seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

At The Mulberry Bush, we’re proud to offer five beautiful nursery settings across Hampshire — each one unique, yet rooted in the same nurturing values.

Whether your child is baking mud pies in Eastleigh, enjoying a sensory space in Bitterne Park, or curled up with a book in Locks Heath, they’ll be surrounded by care, curiosity, and connection.

Every setting has its own character — and every child who joins us becomes part of our Mulberry Bush family.

Our nurseries are shaped by what matters most:

Nurture – a home-from-home feel filled with warmth and understanding

Explore – open spaces and open minds, encouraging discovery every day

Individual – tailored support that honours each child’s personality and pace

Interactive – play-based learning built on real-world experiences and creativity

BIG IMAGINATIONS AND BOLD ADVENTURES

At Bitterne Park, curiosity leads the way. Children here are encouraged to explore through nature-based play, active movement, and hands-on discovery that sparks joy. From building dens to experimenting with textures, our purpose-built space is designed to develop independence and resilience through real experiences.
