About this day nursery

Sunshine Daisy Nursery, nestled in the picturesque rural hamlet of Andwell, operates within a charming 12th-century priory that has been beautifully converted into a private dwelling. This country farmhouse exudes a grand regency aesthetic, offering a "home from home" atmosphere with warm carpets, a large kitchen table, and traditional, eco-friendly wooden furniture and equipment.

Surrounded by landscaped grounds and farmland, the nursery boasts two spacious, secure gardens and is home to various animals. Despite its idyllic countryside setting, it benefits from convenient access to junction 5 of the M3 and the A30, connecting Basingstoke and Hook.

The historic building features unique nooks and crannies, including an ancient bread oven that doubles as a dinosaur cave, providing ample opportunities for extended play and focused learning in each age group's dedicated rooms. The nursery prides itself on its warm environment and a highly qualified team, with individual key persons meticulously planning inspiring activities tailored to each child's unique developmental journey.

The Nursery Manager, Siobhan, welcomes prospective families for tours of the setting.
