Moat Barn Nursery School is located within a converted Barn and specialist designed buildings set amongst farmland. Providing children with fantastic opportunities to play and learn inside and outside. The nursery is in a beautiful rural setting yet still, only 3 miles from Woodbridge and only 20 minutes from Ipswich town centre.

We strive to provide an educational environment for children within a bright, safe, stimulating and welcoming school setting. We offer a unique countryside environment away from the busy towns for children aged three months to eleven years. In addition in the school holidays we run a holiday club for children aged from five up to the child’s eleventh birthday.

Children are provided with structured play and learning activities to help them towards achieving their early learning goals in such a way as to make learning fun! This provides the environment for children to acquire independence and the confidence to enable them to reach their full potential and learn more about the world around them.

We have a dedicated team of staff, whose enthusiasm and commitment is demonstrated when working with the children. Our last Ofsted inspection was March 2009. The nursery was graded as good with outstanding elements. Ofsted said that “Children settle well with the tactile, caring staff with whom they have developed a genuine bond, this provides a settled close relationship and helps children to feel confident and safe within the nursery. Younger children enjoy close cuddles and quality one-to-one time during bottle feeds. Staff provide nurture and learning that match the needs and interests of the individual baby or child, using their excellent parent partnership to give detailed information that they carefully record and adhere to”.
