Our Ethos
The 60 place nursery is for children aged between 3 months and 5 years and is open Monday - Friday for 51 weeks of the year. Our opening hours are 7.30am - 6.00pm.
The nursery is purpose-built to allow children to be at one with nature and the outdoors. The nursery has three rooms, each catering for different age groups. All of these rooms lead out to a large private, secure outdoor play area so children can choose where they want to play and therefore learn all year round. There is a large canopy that ensures that children can play outside in all weathers and we also provide wet weather clothing so the children can play happily in the rain or snow, as they wish.
We also have a huge field just beyond the children’s garden where the children tend their fruit and vegetables in the raised beds, care for the nursery chickens and enjoy endless forest school activities.
There are other animals on the farm, including the nursery pygmy goats and the children are involved in their care and help with their daily routine. This care for nature and animals is absolutely core to our ethos of a loving, nurturing environment where the children in our care can flourish.
The children regularly walk around the farm so they can enjoy, and learn about the seasonal changes of the farm, both crops and wildlife, and purely enjoy the space and fresh air that we have to offer. We have quad cross country buggies so even the smallest of our children can see this on this on the farm. Take a look at our On the farm page to see more about this.

We strongly believe in play based learning. We provide an environment, everyday, where children can develop through play.
We know each child as the individual that they are and through this we set up activities to progress their development. We do not pressurise the children, rather we provide a fun stimulating environment where a love for learning is developed.
Our Pre-School. Our Family. Our Community
We know that our members of staff are the most important part of the nursery. We have a wonderful, diverse team who truly care about early years and provide a caring and inspiring teaching and learning environment for all the children in our care.
At Molescroft Farm we fully understand that choosing the right childcare for your child is a daunting experience but rest assured that the needs of your child are always our top priority.
What We Do
Environment
Food
Our nursery cook prepares amazing nutritious meals for the children every day on site. None of the food that we serve is processed, and sugar and salt are not added. We don’t serve puddings, rather a seasonal variety of fruit salads, smoothies and lassis. Snacks are savoury to avoid sugar sitting on the children’s teeth. Food is sourced locally where possible and from our own raised beds. See Sample Menu.

Lovely people and cake, what more could anyone want 😍
On Friday, we watched some of the Tokyo 2020 opening ceremony and then held our own parade, with flags we made ourselves.
We loved looking at Gary's (Camilla's Husband) amazing medals and we are looking forward to making our own medals next week. We have even received a message from Rachel Daley (team GB football player)! It was amazing to hear from her and we wish her team lots of luck!
We think it is so important for our children to know where their food comes from to become healthy, happy humans.
We are so lucky to have Frith Farm on our doorstep, if you're looking for somewhere to buy amazing fruit and vegatables from you can't get better than here!

Does your child love being in the kitchen? Give them the opportunity to build their love of cooking and baking at Little Bunny Bakers.
With a magical fairy tale theme it is going to be a wonderful 6 week term in our brand new Little Bunny Bakers Studio.
We switch between sweet and savoury bakes including breads, pastry, cakes, biscuits and more! All ingredients are provided and a take home box too, as well as a collectable recipe card.
Each session is 1 hour and 10 minutes and includes a drink/snack and an activity from The Magic Box whilst everything cooks too.
Classes are led by myself, Saskia. I am a trained primary school teacher, cookery teacher and enthusiastic cook and Baker. I have a 5* food and hygiene rating, all necessary dbs checks and insurances. We are running in a covid secure environment with limited numbers, plenty of ventilation and all required space.
Give your child an opportunity to really enjoy a special hobby. The perfect way to help your children learn about where food comes from and build essential life skills in the kitchen to pave a healthy foundation and love of great food in great company!
