Open day at the new farm day nursery on Thrift Farm, with supervised farm visits and hands-on animal experiences for children from six weeks old.
Thrift Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is holding an open day on Saturday 7 November, from 9:30am, at its site on Buckingham Road in Whaddon. It's a brand-new, custom-built childcare setting on the grounds of Thrift Farm, and the open day is a chance to see it in person.
The nursery takes in children from six weeks old, so it works for families with very young ones as well as those looking ahead to pre-school. It follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, and the daily routine includes supervised visits to the farm and hands-on animal experiences for the children. There are healthy meals served on site, private gardens, and an eco-friendly roof. It's part of the Farm Day Nurseries family.
Running the setting is Nursery Manager Emma Hall, who has worked in childcare for 20 years. She holds a degree in Early Years Studies and Early Years Teachers Status, and her own two daughters attended the nursery. If you can't make the open day, weekday show-rounds are also available for families who need to visit at another time.
