About Us

Ancaster Village Nursery & Forest School

Ancaster Village Nursery is situated in beautiful rural Ancaster, Lincolnshire, within easy reach to Sleaford, Caythorpe, Cranwell and just 15 minutes from Grantham centre.

The Nursery offers quality childcare for children aged from 6 weeks old, in a home from home, safe and fun environment, with a team of experienced, highly skilled and caring childcare professionals including a qualified Forest School leader.

The Nursery consists of three age specific rooms all leading onto their own outdoor patios and gardens with play space for all weathers. The garden is surrounded by open fields housing horses and rabbits, a place where the children love to watch and say hello to the animals next door.

Inside the nursery children are free to explore the natural open-ended resources, to enhance their learning and development following the curiosity approach.

Nutritious home-made meals are prepared in the on-site kitchen by the dedicated cook offering a range of healthy, well balanced meals for breakfast, lunch and teas.

The private and secure Forest School is a wonderful addition to the garden area and hosts bug hotels, fairy houses, camp fire, dens and many more Forest School activities. The dedicated Forest School leader runs sessions weekly for pre-schoolers and also offers holiday club sessions.

Surrounded by local attractions such as Woodland Waters and Belton House the children benefit from outings in the local community.

Our Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childcare provider has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childcare provider.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
8 November 2022
Children behave well and develop positive relationships with peers and staff, showing kindness and sharing resources. Staff support communication, language and independence skills effectively, using varied activities indoors and outdoors to extend learning. Professional development opportunities, including forest school training, help staff build confidence and creativity in their practice. Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with robust recruitment and risk assessment procedures in place. However, when staff are new or covering for absent colleagues, information about individual children's learning needs is not always shared fully, meaning some children may not receive the highest level of support during their chosen activities.
