We would like to take this opportunity to offer you a warm welcome to The Barn Nursery and Kids Club. The Barn Nursery has been open since 1990, caring for children and families within our local community. Choosing the right nursery for your child is an important decision. We understand that you want your child to receive the best possible start to their education within a safe and secure environment. At The Barn Nursery and Kids Club we provide a home from home, happy and stimulating environment and value each child as an individual. We are set in a beautiful rural part of Thaxted, overlooking fields of farm life. Our attitudes towards the outdoors shine through all learning and play, ensuring children have an array of outdoor experiences to explore. We encourage children's learning through their own interests, learning styles and needs, indoors and outdoors. This is recorded through online software which all families have immediate, in the moment access to.

A WELCOMING AND RURAL NURSERY IN SAFFRON WALDEN Our bright, inspiring nursery in Saffron Walden provides exceptional care and education to children from 3 months to 5 years. We focus on understanding every child’s unique personality and interests, and use these to encourage learning and exploring. Each room features age-appropriate toys, activities and equipment to inspire children’s natural curiosity. Our children particularly enjoy the reading nooks, dedicated art corner and building blocks, as well as taking part in imaginative play in our construction role-play area. We also practice Growing Enhancements – a unique Ready for School programme focusing on reading, writing and mathematics – to support your child in their transition from nursery to school. Growing Enhancements also include Creative Cooks, Active Athletes and Growing Artists, allowing your child to express their creative side and discover new passions. Outside, Saffron Walden Crocus has plenty of space to discover nature. There are climbing frames, raised beds for gardening, tricycles, an up-and-over tunnel and various outdoor games – all sectioned into age-appropriate gardens and surrounded by greenery. Our nursery is located on the grounds of a secure school location with gated entry and ample onsite nursery parking. We have great links to local bus routes and our all-inclusive fees feature nappies, wipes, meals and snacks – giving you less to pack on busy mornings.
