Welcome to our happy place
Welcome to our delightful day nursery nestled in the picturesque rural village of Barford St Martin. Steeped in history, our nursery holds a special place in the community - our nursery was once the village infant school.
We are a small, award-winning day nursery providing flexible and quality childcare for children and babies from six-months to five-years.
We have a great location; easy to find with ample parking onsite. We are just 6 miles from Salisbury and a couple of miles from Wilton and Dinton. Our children live in many of our surrounding villages and towns, such as Burcombe and Salisbury and yet we have lots of children travel to us from as far as Tisbury and Shaftesbury.
Do you ask yourself:
is NURSERY RIGHT FOR my CHILD?
Will they settle? These are completely natural questions that every parent asks.
We offer a special nursery tour where you can leave your child with our educators and other children while you explore the nursery in peace. This allows you to see for yourself how well they settle, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
Making childcare easier, because life is hard enough!
Do you want flexibility and ease, with confidence your child is getting the best day care nursery? We've got you covered!

Our Holiday Club is open to children aged 5-8 years old!
This is a fantastic opportunity for children who previously attended our nursery and are now at school, as well as siblings of our current nursery children.
