We believe that early experiences are crucial for a child’s growth and well-being. Our focus is on helping children build confidence, independence, and a love for learning so that when the time arises they’re ready for school.
The farm is an ideal place for a children's nursery, the animals and outdoor way of life forms a key part of our ethos here at Napley Lodge. From the play areas, the children are able to see the cows grazing in the fields or being brought in at milking time. They can also view the calves in the paddock during spring and summer months, alongside the donkeys. The children regularly go on farm walks where they are able to view and care for all our animals which include cows, sheep, hens, rabbits, donkeys, dogs and bottle-fed lambs in spring. Alongside our three stimulating playrooms, enclosed gardens, a vegetable patch and two paved play areas, we also have acres of fields and meadows to explore, and a self purpose built Forest School Woodland area.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, working hours TBC.Skills: Communication skills,Team working,Creative,Patience,Passionate....Read more...
