We’re thrilled to announce that The Shepherd’s Hut Nursery will open on Monday October 28th at Peterley Manor Farm.

The Shepherd’s Hut embraces a simple yet powerful ethos: the belief that the outdoor environment fosters better outcomes for children’s wellbeing compared to traditional nursery settings.

What Makes The Shepherd’s Hut Nursery Unique?

• Nature-Centric Learning: Their curriculum is built around the idea that nature is the best classroom. Children will engage in hands-on activities that spark curiosity and creativity, from gardening to nature walks.
• Outstanding Quality: They’ve recently been rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, reflecting their commitment to providing exceptional care and education. Their dedicated team of educators is passionate about nurturing each child’s unique potential.
• Flexible Spaces: The nursery has a bespoke, double wooden yurt which has been handcrafted in Wales and provides the perfect cosy indoor space for children aged o to 5 years old to participate in indoor activities, quiet and nap time. Children also have access to a beautiful wooded area of trees for natural shade and shelter.

“We are thrilled to open The Shepherd’s Hut at Peterley Manor Farm! This nursery embodies our vision of providing children with a nurturing outdoor environment that promotes their wellbeing and development. We believe that nature is the best teacher, and we can’t wait to see the joy and curiosity our little ones will experience as they explore and learn in this beautiful setting.” — Erica Bailey and Kim Mabey, Directors of The Shepherd’s Hut Nursery.
