From the Barnaby's Day Nursery
We are a family-run day nursery and preschool operating out of a gorgeously renovated barn in the Holme Valley, close to the A616 Sheffield Road and situated between New Mill and Holmfirth.
In a secure, energising, and comfortable setting, Barnabys Day Nursery offers a distinctive outdoor learning style and offers a wealth of tools and activities that are developmentally appropriate.
We have worked hard to make Barnabys Day Nursery the closest thing to being at home because we take pleasure in offering the finest calibre of care.
We provide full-time and part-time childcare and education for children from birth to age 5, including FEEC for two- and three-year-olds (Free Early Education and Care).
The choice to send my kid to Barnabys is among my greatest ones. She adores coming to nursery, and when I drop her off and walk out without giving it a second thought, it means the nursery is doing a great job. Her confidence and growth are soar because she is at ease and content in the nurturing and exciting atmosphere they have established. The environment, cuisine, and activities are incredible. I cannot express how much I adore this nursery.
The staff at Barnabys is fantastic; my son has loved his time there. They are kind and patient. The forest school is the cherry on top of excellent indoor and outdoor amenities for people of all ages. It is quite essential, in my opinion.
