Little Grubs Kindergarten is a nature nursery for children aged 2-5, nestled on the beautiful Oakly Park Estate near Ludlow.
Set on a working farm, we inspire children with a love of learning through creative, hands-on play and a deep connection to nature. Surrounded by changing seasons, wildlife, and everyday rural life, children have endless opportunities to explore and engage with the world around them.
Children roam our dedicated woodland site and discover magical spots like the bluebell-filled hornbeam glade, bouncy rhododendron branches, towering sequoia trees, and even a fallen stag oak tree.
In the afternoon, our cozy playroom comes alive with open-ended activities—sand, playdough, painting, cooking, gardening, and more. And, of course, there’s plenty of fun in our playground with water play and beyond!
Our meals are prepared by Ludlow Farmshop.
