Home Farm Children's Nursery provides a welcoming, caring, and safe environment where children aged 6 months to 5 years can engage in enjoyable learning through exciting and challenging activities and high-quality play experiences. The nursery prioritises the development of each child's potential, self-confidence, and personal self-esteem, working in collaboration with families.
The approach encourages children to become independent, curious, confident, and resilient learners, fostering respect for themselves, others, and their environment. Children are at the heart of the nursery's philosophy, and parental involvement is highly valued.
The nursery boasts well-designed classrooms that promote optimal learning, with a focus on creating a calming atmosphere using natural colours and materials. Both indoor play areas and an outdoor garden are available, with additional access to the larger grounds of Homewood School, offering opportunities for sports days, organised walks, and library use.
The dedicated staff, most of whom hold Level 3 or higher childcare qualifications, are committed to fostering strong bonds with the children and ensuring their well-being.

They comment that they are happy with the care their children receive at the nursery.
Inclusion & environment
Staff have a good knowledge of child development and plan activities to meet children's individual needs. They also have a good awareness of any ongoing potential gaps in learning that are possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as communication and language.
The outdoor curriculum is not yet fully developed to ensure that children, particularly those who prefer to learn outdoors, consistently have rich learning experiences. The setting should further develop the outdoor learning curriculum to enable children to have equally high-quality experiences outdoors as those of the indoor environment.
