About our Nursery

The nursery in Rugby is a carefully planned, purpose built nursery which offers a stimulating and engaging learning environment for our community's children. The nursery opened at the end of 2021 and is light and airy even on cloudy days. We are fortunate to have an allotment space for the children to develop a lifelong love and understanding of sustainable planting and growing. The Old Station Nursery Houlton is in close proximity to Houlton Play Park and the new Co op, with easy access to the main Crick Road and a car park right next door.
