From our reading treehouse loft to our bright, open-plan rooms, our thoughtfully designed spaces create a stimulating and engaging environment for every child.
Situated by the Brayford Pool, children experience the magic of nature firsthand, watching ducks, ducklings, and even swans pass by throughout the year.
Situated within the University of Lincoln campus, we thrive on fostering strong connections with families, students, and the wider community.
From the first day in my childcare journey in 2017, I soon realised that we have the world to learn from the children we cherish and inspire each day, and this is truly at the heart of how we lead. We are gifted with pure joy from our children, and this is why it is our privilege to give the children at The Marina the biggest of smiles every day! Our team here aren鈥檛 just educators, they鈥檙e role models, dancers and they even have 100 different voices for 100 different stories!
The Marina has a strong family community rooting from our busy families working around the University of Lincoln and Lincoln City. With the Brayford on our doorstep, we enjoy the ducklings waddling past, and the nursery is the talk of the town each year!
We understand that our families and team members have a story to tell, and we welcome you to The Marina to start your next chapter.

Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.
We believe in the power of kindness and the importance of giving back. We鈥檙e always looking for ways to support good causes and get involved in our community, helping to make a positive impact where it鈥檚 needed most.
Throughout the year, we鈥檒l be organising a range of fun and meaningful fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days to sponsored challenges and community events. It鈥檚 a great way for our children, families, and team to come together, have fun, and make a real difference.
Amidst all that learning, there鈥檚 plenty of time for play with games, creative activities and outdoor fun.
If children prefer some time away from the hustle and bustle, our quiet area is equipped with reading books and spaces to complete homework.
