What we do

St Donats Nursery is an outdoor nature nursery, set approximately on 1 acre of land surrounded by an assortment of trees on the prestigious campus of Atlantic College. We provide opportunities to play, learn, explore, investigate, take risks and create great memories along the way!
The majority of our activities take place in the great outdoors where children are happy, calm, creative and free!
We are ready no matter what the weather may bring as we also have two fantastic yurts on site. We are not about 'survival' but more about 'revival'.
Children are encouraged to follow their own interests and learn life long skills such as being self sufficient, aware of nature and sustainability; being independent and able to work as a member of a team.

Who do we support

We welcome every child!
We accept children from the age of 2 - 4 years old during term time and 2-10 years old at our Holiday Club during half term.
