Set to welcome children aged six months to five years, Mouse’s Garden will open in January 2026 in Coleshill, near Highworth.
The nursery is based on an organic farm in the National Trust village and focuses on child-led exploration in a supportive, eco-friendly environment.
It is now Ofsted registered and is offering funded government hours to eligible families.
The nursery sits within the Victorian brick walls of the Coleshill Organics farm, a space which is designed to encourage a deep connection to nature.
It is the vision of co-founders Flo and Sonia, who have lived on the farm for more than 25 years.

Flo, a Norland nanny, and her partner Alex are now raising their two daughters on the site.
In social media posts, they explained: “We provide a safe and thoughtful environment where your child can explore and grow in an unstructured yet fully supported setting.
“All our play equipment and toys are natural and thoughtfully chosen, encouraging imaginative play and a deep connection to the environment.
“We are thrilled to announce that Mouse’s Garden is now officially Ofsted registered, and we are currently enroling for January 2026 onwards.
“Rather than fixed lesson plans, at Mouse’s Garden we capture individual ‘wow moments’ – spontaneous bursts of learning and discovery, which may develop into imaginative play, a whole group project or more.
“We believe our work at the nursery goes beyond education; we strive to be role models for environmental care, creative problem-solving, and cooperative work.”
The nursery aims to model environmental responsibility through daily practice.
The spokesperson added: “We will use every opportunity available to us to show your children how to be good custodians of the earth.
“Everything from composting systems and rainwater harvesting to pollinator-friendly planting schemes will be thoughtfully woven into our setting.
“The children will help tend vegetable beds, herb gardens, and edible hedgerows, learning where food comes from and how to respect living things.”
Mouse’s Garden held its first open day in October, welcoming families to explore the site, and it received a positive response from visitors.
The spokesperson added: “To see Mouse’s Garden come to life – the yurts full of laughter, children running freely through the garden, families sharing food and stories – was truly magical.”
Limited places are available for January 2026.
