Willows Farm Day Nursery & Pre-school
Exceptional Childcare in the Countryside – Serving St Albans, London Colney & North London
Our nature-inspired day nursery at Willows Activity Farm is a great place for kids to learn, play, and grow.
Our unique setting offers twice-daily visits to the farm animals and free-flow access to outdoor play. We also run Forest School sessions and a Mini Farmer programme, helping children build confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of nature.
Children at our nursery enjoy the best of both worlds: high-quality early years education with a strong focus on wellbeing and development, combined with the freedom and adventure of the great outdoors.
Whether you’re looking for a baby nursery in St Albans, toddler childcare in London Colney, or a pre-school near North London, children are given room to breathe, explore, and thrive – all while being just a short drive from major commuter routes.
