At the Green Nursery we believe that children should have access to outdoors and nature as often as possible. All of our 4 dedicated rooms have direct access to our large, secure garden with an extensive shaded weatherproof canopy. Our garden is used in all weathers and is an extremely important extension to the learning environment. Nestling in woodland with unobstructed views of the Clent Hills we can observe nature’s changes throughout the year. We have a wild orchard, nesting boxes and enjoy glimpses of local deer from time to time.
We are open from 7.30am to 6.00pm from Monday to Friday throughout the year including School Holidays. We are closed on Statutory Bank holidays and also during the week between Christmas and New Year.

The security of Children, Staff and Parents at the Green Nursery is of paramount importance.
Upon registration, parents will be required to provide a list of all persons authorised to collect their children. Photographs of authorised persons are also required. Please inform us immediately of any changes to this information because we will not release a child to anyone without prior clearance.
We encourage children to go outdoors and enjoy the garden as often as possible whatever the weather. Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat and wellingtons. In the summer please provide a sun hat and sun block.
It is the policy of the Green Nursery to work closely with all parents and guardians. Parental involvement within the Nursery is essential to a child’s development because parents significantly influence their child’s learning and are the child’s primary educators.
We are here to listen to parent’s accounts of their child’s development or any concerns that they may have regarding their child.
Regular newsletters are sent out to parents and guardians informing them of forthcoming events and important Nursery news. Most parents prefer to receive these by email and provide an email address for this purpose.
