Barfield School Nursery is set within the stunning grounds of Barfield Prep School. Providing a homely setting, the nursery staff get to know each child so that they can meet their individual needs and encourage their unique personalities. Play-based learning ensures there is always something to engage every child.
The Nursery has light, airy rooms conducive to learning and contains innovative learning tools. They offer every child top-class early education, giving them a head start in life. The Sleep Room has recently been refreshed and updated to facilitate a more homely environment when the younger children have nap time.
Professionals fully use school facilities, including the library and regular swimming lessons in the warm indoor pool. Children can access many outdoor activities with outdoor learning and adventure play areas. Outdoor learning sessions are taught in the extensive grounds and woodland, and the children play outside at break in the purpose-built sandy play area.

About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Barfield is an incredible nursery and school. They have done so many amazing things for our daughter with regard to her development. She has such lovely bonds with all the staff and other children. It’s a wonderful thing to see her go in so happily every day. They are so caring, creative, professional and nurturing, and we particularly love how much time the children spend outdoors. We’re so happy we chose Barfield for our daughter.

In a very short period of time, her development has accelerated which is great to see. I would recommend Barfield School Nursery to anyone looking for a provider in Farnham.

Barfield School Nursery is excellent. It is a very nurturing environment for the children and the teaching staff take special care to ensure that each child's needs are catered for. I particularly like the fact that the nursery is integrated into the main school meaning that they are able to mix with other children and learn from them. The range of activities available is fantastic, swimming, music, forest school, cooking etc.
My daughter has developed so much in the few weeks since she started at Barfield School Nursery. Her language has improved immeasurably, she says "Please" and "Thank you" a lot more and generally seems very happy and stimulated.

The staff are professional but nurturing too! Your child is treated as an individual. I could not recommend Barfield more.
My daughter adores the nursery at Barfield School. She loves the staff and really enjoys the activities on offer (especially swimming and cooking). She has had a lot of fun this term with the topic of families including making a beautifully decorated frame for a photo of us all.

During my daughter's last 12 months at Barfield she has developed into a polite little girl, her speech, writing and numbers as improved dramatically. The staff team are all amazing, the rooms are well equipped and along with the playing fields, forest and chickens and pool. They have a huge variety of activities at their disposal. The wrap around care provides flexibility for parents. All this for the same cost as a normal stand alone nursery. Barfield Nursery is superb.

My 2 and a half-year-old daughter has recent started attending the nursery at Barfield School. Each day she returns home full of stories about her day! She receives a wonderful balance of learning and play and the nursery facilities are fantastic. I hope she continues with the same level of enthusiasm through the school years.
