Our nursery provides full-day childcare for young children in a home-like environment. With experienced staff and a 14-year staff retention record, we focus on creating a safe, nurturing space that mirrors family life. Our curriculum follows Early Years Foundation Stage standards while maintaining flexibility to individual needs.

Ofsted-registered pre-school services prepare children for formal education through structured learning and play. Located at Inkberrow Village Hall, our programme includes literacy, numeracy, and social skills development with access to extensive outdoor learning spaces in rural surroundings.

Seasonal childcare operates during school holidays with two session options. Activities combine themed programmes and free play, prioritising outdoor exploration. Children aged 3-12 enjoy supervised adventures while parents benefit from flexible, pay-as-you-go booking arrangements.
