Hi, I’m Amber, the Nursery Manager at Glebe Farm.

Every day at Glebe Farm, we want our children to be curious, imaginative, and confident learners within our thoughtfully designed environments. As a team with a wealth of early years experience, we understand that every child is unique, with their own story to tell. That’s why we tailor learning experiences to suit each individual—supporting them to grow at their own pace.

Our home-from-home setting is filled with natural resources and cosy, calming spaces where our children feel safe, secure, and ready to learn through play. Whether indoors or outdoors, we foster an environment that is both nurturing and inspiring.

One of the highlights of our nursery is our dedicated Forest School area, where our children connect with nature through rich, hands-on experiences. Nestled in a beautiful village in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, our outdoor areas offer the freedom to explore, discover, and thrive in the natural world.

At Glebe Farm, we create a space where our children feel at home, and where learning is always full of wonder.
