The story of Coneygarth Farm

From one barn to a family of three nurseries — how it all began.

How did we begin?

Coneygarth Farm Day Nursery began life in a single converted barn in 1997, founded on a simple idea: that children learn best with muddy boots on and fresh air in their lungs. What started as one small room on a working farm has grown, over almost three decades, into a much-loved nursery trusted by generations of local families.

Who are we now?

Today, Coneygarth is still run by the same family, still based on the same working farm, and still built around the belief that real farm life makes for the best possible childhood. We care for babies right through to pre-schoolers, with rooms and routines designed around each stage of development.

As the family has grown, so has the nursery family — we’re now proud to be part of a small group of sister nurseries, Flying Start Day Nursery and High Melton Day Nursery, who share the same values of real, hands-on childcare.
