About this day nursery

Nunny's Little Farmers Nursery is a distinguished childcare facility operating within the Nunny's Farm community care farm and sanctuary in Grimsby. Dedicated to fostering resilient, independent, and confident learners, the nursery provides an enriching environment where children aged 2-4 years can explore and learn through play and nature.

The curriculum emphasises authentic resources to spark creativity and imagination, while a secure free-flow outdoor space encourages physical activity and independence. A unique aspect of the daily routine involves hands-on learning with farm animals, including cleaning, feeding, and caring for them both within the nursery setting and on the wider farm.

Great little find, really nice morning trip out and my daughter absolutely loved feeding the animals and stroking the donkeys. Good price to get in and a great little tea shop with lovely vegan sausage rolls. 10/10 would recommend and come again.

Cute little farm, perfect for the little ones. I'd recommend wellies as it's very muddy, especially after rain 😆 The whole family enjoyed our time there and fed some of the animals.

First time here,brought our granddaughter and she loved every minute. The animals all looked in top condition and happy to interact. She loved walking the goat and was not happy to come off the tractor .Its a great use of the space they have,a lot to see.We all enjoyed our visit and finished off at the cafe.The food was really good and reasonably priced,my vegetarian daughter was in heaven and all reasonably price for a good sized portion. She really raved about the smoothie and the coffee was good quality. Found all the staff happy to be there and really friendly.Final stop the gift shop,which we found reasonable and plenty of things to remind you of your day.Its not the biggest, we had a couple of hours and really enjoyed ourselves, will definitely come back .

Arrived in an unexpected location when looking for a farm afternoon out with the family, we didn’t expect such an amazing time! Staff were so friendly and informative, especially one girl but we forgot to ask her name.You know who you are, thank you for making our experience so special! She told us all about the animals and we loved interacting with them. They are so happy and well looked after. Was absolutely fabulous and great fun thank you all so much xx
