Welcome to Gosfield Nursery!
Gosfield Nursery is set in a fabulous purpose-built location at Meadow Court which is also home to their Prep School. This allows children, from the age of just two years, the opportunity to experience the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and to take advantage of teacher-led planning and expertise. This approach undoubtedly gives Nursery children an advantage in learning when they graduate to Reception Class, whether that’s at Gosfield or another school.
Indoors, the Nursery is bright, caring and engaging, whilst outside in the amazing Forest School and 100-acre estate, the team are adventurous, spontaneous and muddy! Outdoor play and their long-established Forest School are very much a part of nursery life at Gosfield. Nursery pupils enjoy the earliest opportunity to explore, discover and collaborate with each other in line with the Gosfield School ethos, and they begin to learn to take responsibility for themselves and others in the safest of hands.
Gosfield Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum 'Development Matters' which develops skills, knowledge and attitudes in seven learning areas: Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design.
Much emphasis is placed on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, particularly in the first term of a child joining Gosfield. Vital life skills such as developing independence and being able to listen and contribute as part of a group are just some of the important skills that the children will acquire at this stage.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery applies funded hours during term time only. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 3 funded hours per day, used only during term time. With your selected funding, 9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- 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.

Overall very happy with the nursery. My eldest attended from 2 years of age until moving up to Reception class this September. And now my youngest is there, and like his older sibling, enjoys every day he that he is there.

When my daughter started in September 2025, she was very quiet and shy and in just a few months she has gained in confidence.
From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly caring and enthusiastic, which helped her settle in. It is clear to see that each child is given individual attention thanks to the small group learning.
What really makes Gosfield Nursery wonderful is how the nursery children are part of the wider school community and benefit from the beautiful facilities the school has to offer.
Gosfield Nursery is lovely and has been the best decision I have made for my daughter.
Both of my children have gone through, or are still attending the nursery and we have always been delighted with it.

He was actually attending Gosfield part time and another placement when being cared for by his grandparents due to me being long term ill. He actually expressed a preference to attend Gosfield and so we moved him to Gosfield full time.
The fact that he expressed a preference and was always extremely keen to attend, even asking to attend at the weekends speaks volumes about how good Gosfield nursery is.
I was always met with smiles and very polite and wonderful staff when collecting or dropping off.
I find it difficult to quantify but when a place make your child as happy as Gosfield Nursery it can only be a good thing.

Gosfield Nursery is truly wonderful- a beautiful setting with caring and kind teachers. My daughter absolutely loves going there! It's a very calm environment with a much smaller number of pupils, which is extremely important to us, as most nurseries tend to be so overcrowded. That was the main reason we chose Gosfield, and we're very happy with the support we and our daughter receive.
Our child has excelled at Gosfield. The various activities they do really does captivate the children. They are an incredible school and I would recommend them to everyone!

Excellent nursery in an amazing setting. Great preparation as a feed into reception. My son loves going and asks to go even when it's not his regular day. The staff are amazing with the children (and parents), and the ratios for staff and children surpass what you would expect. My son has learnt a lot and gets to experience things he would not get to do at home. Highly recommended.

The outside garden is brilliant with lots to do, they attend forest school which my son loves. They have a freshly cooked lunch every day with a great varied menu. I highly recommended Gosfield nursery.

Gosfield Nursery is the place if you want your child to go above and beyond, whilst enjoying every single minute. The care the staff show the children is simply amazing, the food provided is freshly cooked by the chef daily and caters beautifully for children with dietary needs. The range of activities available is wonderful, my child didn't know she was learning as she was learning through play. The nursery is certainly head and shoulders above any I have personally seen and couldn't be more grateful for the progress my child made over the 18 months of her attendance here.
We are very happy we have sent our son here. We knew from his first session that it was the right choice. We feel that he is so happy and supported here and the nursery has such a calm and welcoming feel to it. He always looks forward to going there and I feel that there is brilliant communication...
We are very happy we have sent our son here. We knew from his first session that it was the right choice. We feel that he is so happy and supported here and the nursery has such a calm and welcoming feel to it. He always looks forward to going there and I feel that there is brilliant communication from the teachers so we're kept in the loop of what's going on in our child's day when we aren't there. I was worried putting him in for full days, that it might be a bit much for him but we couldn't be happier with the service we have received to date. Highly recommend.
My daughter attended the nursery and she absolutely loved her time there. It gave her the easiest and happiest of transitions to school, just moving to the classroom next door.

My daughter attended the nursery and she absolutely loved her time there. It gave her the easiest and happiest of transitions to school, just moving to the classroom next door. She really enjoyed the daily session in the woods and the structure of the teacher-led ‘lessons’, especially the music, PE and Spanish. My children have attended a number of nursery settings and this is by far the best. There is a lovely roleplay section, a cosy reading corner, Montessori type furniture and materials and a safe, fun outside area. The outside area was a real hit with my daughter, she loved playing on the trikes and climbing equipment and playing with the sand water. The staff are all we could have hoped for and she was always happy going in and full of animated chat on the way home. It really was the best start she could have had and I would highly recommend Goslings.

Goslings Nursery provides a happy and exciting place for children to be. The facilities both inside and out are fantastic. The nursery is set within vast grounds which are used for the children to explore and learn. The staff are all so caring and enthusiastic about everything they do. All activities are tailored to each child's needs and abilities and every day is fun-packed. My children have loved being at Goslings Nursery, they have always looked forward to going to see what fun things they will be doing. I would highly recommend the nursery and am so pleased my children have been able to have the best possible start to their education at Goslings Nursery.
