Welcome to our happy place
Welcome to our delightful day nursery nestled in the picturesque rural village of Barford St Martin. Steeped in history, our day care nursery holds a special place in the community. Our wonderful day nursery was once the village Infant School.
What's new?
Our renovation involved every room in our nursery—from babies to toddlers to pre-schoolers—ensuring that no space was left untouched.
This exciting transformation included new custom carpentry, a full repainting of the entire nursery inside and out, brand-new learning resources, and a calming, aesthetically pleasing environment designed to create a beautiful and peaceful space for our children to learn and grow.
In addition to the indoor updates, our beloved garden is also being revamped to offer an even better outdoor experience, keeping in line with our focus on nature and free play.
