  My daughter loved this nursery, she started when she was 2 and made a lovely connection with all the staff there, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. She loved her walks around the woods, especially to pick blackberries and make cakes afterwards. Her new teacher at school commented on how well she knows her letters, and I have the nursery to thank for that because they taught them a new letter every 2 weeks :) The garden area is beautiful which is a bonus. My youngest started at 9 months and has settled in really well, I was worried how she'd settle as shes still quite young but she's definitely made herself at home 😂

  I, like many of my friends in the local area, went to the Shooting Box as a child. It is still a lovely, special place. The staff are so kind and nurturing for the children and my son loves it here. With home cooked food and a homely atmosphere as well as plenty of fresh air and a great outdoor centre I cannot rave enough about Claire and her wonderful team. Nursery staff are working so hard against the odds these days and honestly, the Shooting Box goes above and beyond. Here's to another 37 (I feel very old saying that) years of the Shooting Box 💕

  I love this nursery and so happy my children got to go there! the girls are all so helpful and caring towards the kids but also supportive of parents. the nursery itself is a beautiful setting being near the woods and love that the children are outside as much as possible. Highly recommend
