Play & Education
Children learn best when they are having fun and this is exactly the ethos at Rand Farm Day Nursery and Pre-School. Using ‘Planning in the moment’, teaching will be focused around the child’s natural interests.
As you would expect on a farm park, there is plenty to keep young minds stimulated. On their daily supervised visits, children can collect eggs, visit new baby animals and take tractor and trailer rides through the fields.
Babies
Ratio 1:3 – From 6 weeks to 24 months
The Baby Room offers a safe and stimulating environment, which uses sound, colour and touch to encourage the babies to explore their ‘second home’. We strive to mirror the feeding routines, nappy changes and sleep routines you use at home and we supply all nappies, wipes, and formula milk free of charge.
Outside babies have their own dedicated area in the private gardens and enjoy regular visits to the farm.

Toddlers
Toddlers
Ratio 1:4 – From 24 to 36 months
More structured than the Baby Room, every activity in the Toddler Room is considered a fun learning opportunity. Like our other rooms, activities take place within the Nursery building, private garden or on supervised farm visits.
Toddlers are encouraged to enjoy early maths (how many lambs can you see?) develop their language skills, participate in creative play and learn to relax at story time. We will also work closely with you to complement your potty training!
Pre-School
Ratio 1:8 – From 3 to 5 years
Our aim within Pre-School is to ensure that all children are confident, having followed the Early Years curriculum ready for mainstream school.
You can expect your child’s time to be full of learning experiences, split between the Pre-School, the free flow accessed garden, the local community and of course the farm; to see and feed the animals.

Read What People Are Saying…
A dear friend once said to me that everything you learn that enhances you as an individual can be classed as a life stripe. Our granddaughter goes here and it is the most fabulous pre-school ever! She loves the staff, she loves the new building, and she loves all the activities they provide, above and beyond a normal school setting. Where else would they get to feed lambs or weigh out animal feed, watch cows milked weekly and have fabulous home-cooked meals and snacks so they learn where food comes from. This has been such an invaluable experience for her and I thank everyone at Rand Farm Park Nursery and Pre-school for these life stripes.
Excellent nursery, my little boy loves it here! He loves the staff, visiting the farm and the variety of activities they get involved in! The staff and friendly and wonderful and I love the feedback after each nursery session. We’ve even booked him in for an extra day each week he loves it that much
Absolutely love this nursery. They have helped my very nervous daughter settle in and she really loves going. My daughter always tells me what fun things she has been doing. The handover process is great and I always get detailed feedback as to how my daughter has been each day. The staff are lovely and very friendly, cannot recommend this nursery enough. Great place!
From the first day, our girls started at Rand Farm Park Day Nursery they have thrived! The care and attention delivered by all the staff have been truly the best you can expect. The surroundings that the nursery is situated is perfect and allows children of all ages to enjoy all it has to offer. My youngest daughter loves playing in the park area and visiting the farm but also bonded really well with all the staff.
Nothing is too much trouble. All staff are so friendly and helpful. My daughter absolutely loves going! She’s learnt so much there. She comes home telling me all about it. Can’t fault it. Thanks Rand Farm Park Day Nrusery & Pre-School team.
