Our Nursery

Shepperton Organic Day Nursery are proud to be the first children’s nursery in the UK to be as fully organic. We were registered by the in April 2004 and continue to build upon this achievement winning local and national awards for being environmentally-friendly, and for nursery nutrition.

Shepperton Organic Day Nursery is located in a state-of-the art facility with anti-allergy flooring in children’s rooms, stimulating light and spaces, and a range of community playthings, toys, equipment and learning aids. The nursery offers interchangeable spaces with carefully planned free- flow areas affording children freedom of movement, space, and social interaction.

All of our rooms and spaces are light, colourful and inspiring with a comprehensive range of educational resources, toys and activities to keep our children busy, happy and naturally learning..

Shepperton Organic Day Nursery benefits from 2 extensive garden areas. The biggest garden is situated at the back with direct access from our Garden classroom and the other garden is located to the side of the building with direct access from our Main classroom. We also have a dedicated garden area where our children grow their own vegetables.

Learning takes many forms at Shepperton Organic Day Nursery – child led activities and individualised learning, care and guidance.

We demonstrate awareness and care for the environment and resources. Materials are always re-used and/or recycled wherever feasible. Cleaning products are natural and eco-friendly; nappies are biodegradable (made without bleach or chlorines); the creams and pastes we provide are organic or made from natural, safe constituents. We have researched and implemented our own, child-friendly policies such as ‘Low-Plastics’ (for children’s equipment and toys) ‘No Microwaves’ (for any children’s foods). All of our policies and procedures are born out of our strong commitment to offer a difference in our childcare, and are constantly reviewed, researched and improved.

All the cutlery and crockery used in the classroom are either made of stainless steel, wheat straw or silicone. We chose those materials because they are easy to clean and do not breed bacteria. Moreover, there are environment-friendly choices as not only are they BPA free but also are odorless, stain-resistant, hypoallergenic and look very pretty on the table:)

Our delicious, healthy and balanced organic food is made fresh daily on site by our chef Aaron. Our menus have been reviewed and validated by the “Eat Well Start Well” program from Surrey County Council.
