Employer Description:
Foxes Bridge Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School gives your child the best possible start in early years education in the heart of the countryside. The Tebbit family farm over 2000 acres at Foxes Bridge and have fond memories of their own children growing up on the farm. Passionate about educating children on food and farming, they originally opened a much smaller Nursery onsite (which closed in August 2020 due to the Owners retirement). We are delighted they chose Farm Day Nurseries to get their Nursery back on their farm. Farm Day Nurseries have multiple established Day Nurseries and Pre-Schools up and down the country. Maximising upon the farming environment, children will be able to pick wheat, make bread, feed the chickens, watch the combine harvester in action and see newborn lambs in the spring, plus much much more. With every changing season on the farm, a caring childcare team and a new Nursery and Pre-School, the opportunities are endless!
