About our nursery

Welcome to our very popular and highly rated nursery school in Chineham, Basingstoke.

Our location holds great convenience for families, as we are in close proximity to local schools.

At our nursery school, we believe in fostering structure and free play to facilitate the learning and development of our children. Through a carefully crafted balance of guided activities and independent exploration, we encourage each child to become confident in preparing for school life.
