New Milton

Located next door to New Milton Junior School and just steps away from the Infant School, our new nursery—previously run by YMCA—became part of the First Friends family in October 2025. 

We provide high-quality early years education and care for children aged 4 months to 5 years.

With plenty of outdoor space, children benefit from fresh air and freedom to explore every day.

At our day nursery, we strive to strike a balance between structure and free play, thereby facilitating the learning and development of our children. 

Our approach ensures that each child feels valued and supported, allowing them to thrive and grow at their own pace.

Our nursery can accommodate: 14 babies, 16 toddlers and 24 pre-schoolers.

At First Friends New Milton, we know that mealtimes are about so much more than food – they’re a chance for children to come together, share experiences, and develop healthy habits for life.

Our nutritious meals are freshly prepared and provided by the school, ensuring that every child enjoys a well-balanced meal packed with goodness to fuel their play and learning throughout the day.

Breakfast, snacks, tea, and drinks are also provided, keeping little ones nourished and refreshed from morning until home time. There is an additional charge for food (breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks) for funded children - see our price list for more details.

We create a calm and sociable atmosphere at the table, where children can enjoy trying new flavours, build independence, and practise important skills such as serving themselves and using cutlery.
