Hi, I'm Leigh, the Nursery Manager at Forest Barn.


Every day at Forest Barn, we nurture our children's natural curiosity and creativity in an environment designed to spark imaginations and build confidence. We're proud to offer an exceptional learning space where children develop a real love for learning and an inquisitive, confident mindset.


Outdoors, we're truly spoilt for choice. From our Nissen hut and sensory garden to the fruit patch and nearby woodland walks, nature plays a key role in our children's development. With two gardens and a large field, there's plenty of opportunity for exploration, adventure, and calm connection with the world around them.


Our cosy, home-from-home environment is filled with natural resources that invite play and ignite wonder. And our commitment to community shines through in our special partnership with the local care home--where residents regularly join us for tea and shared joy with the children.


At Forest Barn, learning, nature, and community come together to create a truly magical place for our children.
