We are the first unique yurt-based nursery in the UK where children have yurts as classrooms.
Our goal is to spark curiosity in children through play in the great outdoors. We even grow our own seasonal vegetables too.
With the agricultural college at Sparsholt next door, children can visit the livestock and all sorts of exciting animals, from meerkats to red pandas.
Our nursery school is a very special place to learn and play. We鈥檙e the UK鈥檚 first yurt-based outdoor nursery school with our two-acre site surrounded by the fields and animals of Sparsholt College. Even though they spend so much of their time outside, our yurts provide a mellow and memorable space for children with their acoustics, sensory atmosphere and cosy sheep鈥檚 wool coverings in the winter.
Every day at Farley we encourage children to be curious and imaginative in our wonderful outdoor learning environment. In doing so, they soon develop a real love of learning and a curious mind.
Our experienced team come with a wealth of early years learning insight. We know that every child is different with their own story to tell, so we make sure that your child learns in a way and at a pace that鈥檚 right for them.
Seeing is believing at Farley Sparsholt so do come along and say hello. We鈥檙e looking forward to welcoming you to our magical setting.
