About Us
Report
Our aim is to help you to give your child the best possible start in life. It's something that we've continued to do since The Rocking Horse Nursery was first opened in 1992 by its current owner.
Over the years we have provided the highest levels of childcare to hundreds of children and, because the nursery has been established for so long, we regularly welcome children to the nursery whose parents attended the nursery themselves in their pre-school years!Operating from our 'real home' premises, we continually reinvest in the facilities, educational and play equipment, and - most importantly - our staff.

Forest School
Report
Forest School allows children to develop confidence and self-esteem through hands on experiences in a natural woodland environment. They have the freedom to direct their own learning and enter into a certain amount of 'risky-play'. This in turn increases their sense of engagement and motivation.
The rich variety of activities on offer and the sense of independence can have very positive effects on a child's intellectual, cognitive, physical and emotional development.The children benefit from close interaction in observing changing seasons and playing in natural and wild environments which stimulates their senses and forges connections with nature.

Literacy Hut
Report
Situated in the nursery's fully enclosed garden, our Literacy Hut is a further enhancement of The Rocking Horse Nursery's outdoor learning facilities and supports the 7 areas of learning of the Early years foundation stage (Eyfs). This relatively recent addition offers a stimulating and dedicated 'class room' away from the main building.
