Red Great Ballard Shield

Great beginnings

At Great Ballard, we welcome little ones from 2 years, meeting each child where they are. Our cosy indoor space is the perfect safe and snug haven for your child. Here, they will settle quickly, guided by their key person while exploring, playing, and growing at their own pace.

“Together, we put children at the heart of our practice, from the very beginning and always.”

Seasons Nursery is nestled at the heart of Great Ballard School. For ten years, Seasons has delivered unique and innovative early years education through its sister setting Seasons at Aldingbourne, based at Aldingbourne Country Centre. At Seasons, we pride ourselves on our partnerships and our community. We thrive when collaborating with like-minded educators. That’s what makes Seasons at Great Ballard so exciting.

Not only do we deliver our own unique mix of quality education in a beautiful woodland setting, but as children grow, they have the option to continue their journey seamlessly through the school who shares the same vision…to deliver exceptional education which prioritises wellbeing and innovation and nurtures confidence, curiosity, invention and ambition.

Imagine a nursery
where outdoor learning is woven into every day

Your child can access our wider school site and the woodland areas at the pace that suits them. We enjoy daily Forest School sessions, climbing, exploring and learning in nature. We teach our children from a young age to use real tools in functional ways and light fires to cook food and warm drinks on. From cosy corners for our tiniest learners to leafy trails for experienced adventurers, every part of Seasons Nursery is designed to nurture curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
“Our curriculum supports naturally curious learners, children learn to approach the world with confidence, creativity, innovation and individuality.”
