We know first-hand that children greatly benefit from being connected to nature in their formative years. These experiences equip children with the vital skills of independence, curiosity, resourcefulness and imagination. The new Godstone Farm Day Nursery building has been designed with emphasis on getting outdoors as much as possible and all of the child-led play will focus on the natural environment around them.

Outstanding Care From Six Weeks to Pre-School

At Godstone Farm Day Nursery and Pre-School, we believe in learning through play and creating happy, self-confident children who are ready for mainstream school. With our experienced staff, modern setting, stunning countryside location and access to private gardens, we can provide your child with the very best in early years education.

 

Your child will also benefit from daily, supervised visits to Godstone Farm, where they will enjoy a wide range of activities from meeting the farm animals and hopping aboard the tractor and trailer rides to explore acres of indoor and outdoor play.

 

Our ‘Planning in the Moment’ teaching approach allows our team to turn any play experience chosen by the children into an opportunity to learn and develop, learning through play is key at Godstone Farm. See our eBook and find out more.
