School House Day Care Collections is a warm, inclusive, charity-run nursery located in the heart of Guilsborough village. It offers a nurturing environment where every child is valued, celebrated and supported to develop a lifelong love of learning through play, curiosity, and discovery.
The nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with a strong child-led approach, enabling practitioners to support each child’s individual interests, pace of learning and developmental needs. The experienced and caring team focuses on building confidence, independence and problem-solving skills while embracing diversity and individuality.
The nursery is organised into dedicated age-specific rooms to ensure children receive focused care and developmentally appropriate experiences:
Baby Barn: 3 months - 1 year
Little Paddocks: 1 - 2 years
Toddler Room: 2 - 3 years
Pre-School: 3 - 4 years
This structure allows each age group to benefit from tailored activities that support learning, growth and wellbeing.
Situated in a peaceful village setting, School House Day Care Collections places strong emphasis on outdoor learning. Children enjoy regular walks, park visits and monthly trips to local attractions, libraries and country parks. Forest School sessions are offered for Pre-School children, promoting confidence, resilience and a connection with nature.
A wide range of enrichment activities enhances the curriculum, including Music Bugs for all age groups, Pacesetters (PE) for toddlers and pre-schoolers, and football sessions for pre-school children.
At School House Day Care Collections, childhood is recognised as precious, and every effort is made to ensure children feel safe, happy, and inspired to learn.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.

The most homely, personable nursery setting, that feels like a little second family for the children. There is always so much going on, and so many fun activities for the children. We particularly like how many of the activities incorporate village life, like going to the post office, visiting the fire station or the local parks. The staff are amazing - thank you for everything you do! We are so grateful to have this on our doorstep.

My daughter has been at School House Day Care since it opened. We have been delighted with her progress. The setting is excellent and very welcoming and homely. The staff are professional, courteous and genuinely friendly and helpful. It was no surprise to me when I learned of their recent Ofsted visit and subsequent report of 'good' in all areas. I would recommend this setting to anyone looking for a really focused nursery that makes learning fun and provides constant improvement for the children, they also put a big emphasis on behaviour and manners. Very well run, well done SHDC.
Thanks so much for a lovely review. We are so happy to see all your positive comments. Well done team.

After moving to the village, I decided to move my daughter to School House Day Care and I am so thankful that I did. Such a cosy setting with a real homely feel to it, the staff are outstanding and always go that extra mile to take care of the children and ensure that their needs are met. For myself, as an anxious parent, the support that I got from the nursery manager has been second to none. The activities that the children take part in each week are wonderful, with lots of variety and plenty of laughter. The food and snacks are also fabulous, to ensure a healthy diet is met. My daughter is school-age now but we still use the before and after school, along with the holiday club. This has been an integral part of juggling work and family knowing that my little person is safe and well cared for by a truly amazing team! I can not recommend School House Day Care enough.
Thanks so much for a lovely review and positive comments for the School House team. We are glad you are so impressed and still use us even after your daughter moving up to school.
I am delighted to give my twins' nursery a glowing five-star review! The flexibility of the hours is remarkable, always accommodating our needs. My girls are such happy toddlers when they are there, and the nursery seamlessly follows our sleep routine. The incredible and loving staff make it a...
