Hinxton Hall is the setting for the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus. This is one of the world's leading centres for genome research and sequenced one third of the human genome. The nursery has been in existence since 1998 and was previously managed by a large national chain. Crocus was invited to take over the management in December 2001.

The Hinxton Hall nursery offers 75 places in a recently extended, purpose built building situated within the beautiful grounds of the Hall.

The nursery is operated in association with Hinxton Hall Limited (HHL), a company wholly owned by the Wellcome Trust.
