Not only does the Nursery now occupy a modern, air conditioned building with views over the Farm but children have the opportunity to play and learn in a clean indoor environment alongside free daily access to the Farm. This includes access to the indoor sensory and soft play areas and Forest School activities which will be available from January 2019. In common with all Ofsted registered child care settings, the Nursery follows the statutory welfare and educational requirements of the Early Years Foundation stage.
Johnnie Arkwright, owner of Hatton Country World said “We’re delighted to open our newly extended Children’s Nursery. Children have daily access to our Adventure Farm, fruit and vegetable growing patch, chickens, rabbits, lambs and guinea pigs, huge indoor soft and sensory play centre and our outdoor play equipment. We provide plenty of fresh air, space, nature, exercise and adventure – just like a childhood in the countryside used to be!”
Alison Deere, Director and Manager of Hatton Children’s Nursery said “Our Nursery has been established since 2002 but we have been operating from smaller premises. By moving into our new larger building we are able to offer additional places to families. We offer a unique curriculum of education based on learning through play and adventure as big as a child’s imagination”.
The Nursery is open from Monday to Friday and from 8am – 6pm with early starts available from 7:30am. Nursery Education funding is available for eligible children aged 2 and over.
