The Aunties’ Old School Nursery and Pre-School is run by a family, spanning three generations, whose core values are love and integrity – qualities that underpin all that we stand for. Established in 1989, we offer an award-winning, nurturing outdoors educational experience for babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers that has consistently been awarded “Outstanding” by Ofsted. We, The Aunties, do the little things with great love, seasoning children’s lives with affection and fresh air, proactively developing their hearts and minds to achieve their full potential.

Children and families benefit from The Aunties’ research-based ethos and loving, family approach that nurtures little ones’ emotional and social wellbeing along with a love of the natural environment, outdoor life, and learning. Little ones – from birth to rising fives – are encouraged to look up and out at the wonders of life and people. Children enjoy nurturing care and first-class education accompanied by emotional and social coaching to equip them for the years ahead. We proactively prepare children for life, not simply for school.
