Nestled within an acre of beautiful countryside, Woodhams Farm Day Nursery is a unique, purpose-built barn-style setting surrounded by tranquil rural scenery. Located in Kingsworthy, just outside Winchester, our nursery offers a peaceful environment where children can grow, explore, and develop a true appreciation for the outdoors.
Our setting offers five dedicated base rooms, supported by versatile multi‑purpose spaces. Our outdoor provision is a standout feature, with multiple garden areas, a large hard‑surfac ed playground, and a supersized sandpit. Our babies also benefit from their own specially designed balcony – a calm, secure space to enjoy fresh air safely and outdoor exploration.
At the heart of Woodhams Farm is our close‑knit, long‑standing team. Many of our staff have been with us for over 10 years, creating a warm, supportive, and family‑like environment for both children and colleagues. We pride ourselves on our nurturing culture, where everyone is valued and works together to provide the highest standard of care. Despite our rural location, we are easily accessible, with a convenient bus stop right outside the nursery.
We are currently seeking a Nursery Practitioner to join our team in our baby room. This role requires working 26 hours per week, with shifts between 8am and 6pm. The position is year‑round, operating throughout the year.
