Barleylands Day Nursery & Pre-School Now Open

Barleylands is thrilled to announce that Barleylands Day Nurseries and Pre-School is open, offering exceptional early years care and education for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Nestled in the heart of Barleylands Farm, this unique setting provides children with daily supervised visits to the farm animals, creating unparalleled learning experiences that combine nature and education.

At Barleylands, children can engage in hands-on activities like egg collecting, feeding the goats, and petting various animals. These activities are designed to inspire curiosity, nurture a love for nature, and promote hands-on learning.

The newly purpose-built facility boasts a natural free-flow setting, which allows children to decide if they would like to play inside or outside; this aligns with our commitment to planning in the moment. With convenient drop-off and pick-up points, Barleylands is designed to make the daily routine easier for busy families.

Chris Philpot, Director at Barleylands said “It’s great to have the project completed on time. Barleylands is very proud to partner with Farm Day Nurseries on the start of this new chapter. We’re very excited to be able to educate more young children in a relaxed formal setting every day in the farm park”.

The nursery is proud to offer funded spaces for eligible children from 9 months, with flexible options for full-day or half-day sessions, ensuring more families can benefit from our exceptional early years care.

Sharon Elliott, Farm Day Nurseries’ Managing Director, “We’re incredibly excited to be opening the doors to Barleylands Day Nursery and Pre-School. This is a truly special setting where children can immerse themselves in a farm-based learning environment, explore nature, interact with animals, and thrive in a nurturing atmosphere. Our fantastic relationship with Barleylands Farm allows us to offer children a unique experience, where natural learning and hands-on interaction with animals are at the heart of what we do. It’s a place where children can truly discover, learn, and grow.”
