Established in 2005, Bowden House Day Nursery has become a cherished part of the Marple community. Housed within a charming 17th-century farmhouse, the nursery combines historic character with a modern, nurturing approach to early years education. The property boasts a large private garden and sits in a peaceful residential area, creating an ideal environment for children to thrive.

Over nearly two decades, the outgoing owners have carefully cultivated a reputation for excellence. Their dedication to providing a homely and welcoming environment has fostered deep relationships with families across the area. From the gentle care of babies to the creative development of toddlers and the educational preparation of pre-schoolers, Bowden House has provided an inspiring and supportive space for children to learn and grow. Its reputation is underscored by consistent word-of-mouth referrals, a five-star food hygiene rating, and a “Good” Ofsted grading—demonstrating the quality, safety, and professionalism at the heart of the nursery’s operations.

Bowden House’s success has also been built on the unique appeal of its premises. Operating from the ground floor of a character property, the nursery features a thoughtful layout including a hall, First Steps room, Sensory room, Early Years room, kitchen, dining area, dedicated craft room, staff facilities, manager’s office, and a pre-school room. To the rear, children benefit from an extensive private garden with a summer house, mud kitchen, forest school area, storage sheds, and an all-weather play space—offering opportunities for exploration and play in all seasons.

The domestic accommodation on the first floor provides a beautifully presented living space, comprising three spacious double bedrooms (one en-suite), a large lounge/dining area, shower room, and fitted kitchen. This makes the property ideal for an owner-operator or nursery professional seeking a convenient live-in opportunity. The entire site is equipped with CCTV, a fitted alarm system, and central heating, ensuring the highest levels of safety and comfort.
