Great Wood Farm Early Years Centre
We are a nursery school for babies from 6 weeks up until going to school, and an out of school club. We provide a before and after school club for children from Ropsley, Great Ponton and Ingoldsby Schools, as well as a Holiday Club for all children aged from 4 (after starting in reception in September) to 14. We also host school trips where visiting children can experience exciting hands on days on the farm or in the woods.
Great Wood Farm Early Years Centre is an idyllic rural setting and benefits from having its own ‘little farm’, a large outside play area and Forest School.
Great Wood Farm Early Years Centre is situated about half a mile outside Boothby Pagnell. Boothby Pagnell is 5 miles south of Grantham. It is easily accessible for many surrounding villages and Grantham, and has the advantage of plenty of parking facilities, no traffic pollution, or congestion.
Kathryn Spence, Charlotte Spence and Kate Robinson are Directors in this joint family business venture. Kathryn is married to 'Farmer Brian' and Charlotte and Kate are their daughters. GWFEYC was set up in 2002 as a farm diversification project by Kathryn, Brian and Julie. (Julie is Kathryn's sister and has since retired).
