About our Nursery

The Old Station Nursery Henley is a recently refurbished, premium nursery offering three distinct learning enhancements for your child; these are a Forest School, Organic growing and food and child-friendly cooking classes. Located on Fair Mile Orchard Farm, the jewel in the crown at The Old Station Nursery Henley is the wonderful Forest School. Surrounded by fields and woodland areas we are lucky to have a Forest School area within our own garden as well as a wooded area at the top of the hill. The Old Station Nursery Henley is located on the edge of Henley-on-Thames. If you are coming from Oxford, turn off Fairmile on your left, after the Stonor Park turning, following the signs. If you are coming from Henley, we are located on the right about half a mile down the Fairmile, again looking out for the signs. There is a car park next to the nursery for convenience.
