About Farley Salisbury Outdoor Nursery School

Hi, I’m Emily, the Nursery Manager at Farley Salisbury Nursery.

Every day at Farley, we inspire our children to be curious, imaginative, and confident learners within our exceptional learning environment. Our nursery is a truly special place where children quickly develop a love for learning and a naturally inquisitive mind.

We strongly believe that outdoor learning plays a key role in building children’s confidence, health, and well-being. That’s why our children experience the joy and wonder of our beautiful rural setting at every opportunity—whether it is messy play, exploring the local wildlife, or simply enjoying nature with muddy hands and smiling faces!

Our experienced team brings a wealth of early years insight, and we understand that every child is unique, with their own story to tell. We tailor our approach to suit each individual, ensuring they learn in a way—and at a pace—that’s just right for them.

With acres of space to roam and explore, Farley Salisbury Nursery is a place where imaginations thrive, outdoor adventures are part of everyday life, and children feel free to grow, play, and discover.
