Home / What We Offer
From a child's very first muddy footprint to a parent's first cup of tea at a stay-and-play. Here's everything we offer the families of Alderney.
Our nursery is open all year round and full time, for children from 6 months to 5 years. Days are built around the outdoors, with forest school and farm care woven through them. We are PSEF registered; for more information, see the States of Guernsey website.
A holiday club for school-age children from 4 to 11, running through the school breaks. The same outdoor days of farm, field and adventure, for older children who have grown up with us or are joining for the first time.
Forest School runs every day, for all ages. Both our nursery and our holiday club are built around outdoor education, so whether a child is with us at 8 months or 8 years, they spend their days learning outdoors on the farm.
Our free weekly playgroup and stay-and-play sessions include baby music, nature tots and soft play. A warm, welcoming place for parents and carers to meet others, with friendly faces and a moment to breathe.
Open to all island families. There's no need to book: just come along with your little one.
Thursdays, 10.30–11.30am
Songs, rhymes and instruments for babies and toddlers with a grown-up. A gentle, friendly start to the week's music-making.

Outdoor play and discovery on the farm for our youngest explorers, whatever the weather. Wellies and waterproofs provided.

Child-led outdoor exploration and seasonal projects.
Often featuring produce the children have grown.
A warm meal, a story, and quiet time for little ones.
