Acrewood Nursery School is unique in so many ways. Set in a large converted country house on the outskirts of St Helier, Acrewood is nestled within over 2 acres of magical woodland, providing ample opportunity for imaginative outdoor play. The large house and grounds mean that the children have plenty of space with well equipped, different areas and rooms for different age groups and purpose. Since opening in 2002, Acrewood has built a great reputation for providing an enriching and nurturing environment, giving children the confidence to explore, express themselves, and make new friends, preparing them for ‘big school’ and the wide world beyond.

Started by Kirsty Hazlehurst, Acrewood is a family run business which employs over 21 members of staff, including a cook, who lovingly prepares daily snacks from seasonal, local produce – the banana muffins are a firm (but fluffy) favourite!

Balancing action packed activities with peaceful play, Acrewood offers a wide variety of recreational and educational things to keep little minds busy and balanced. Cookery, music, ICT, creative arts and PE are all undertaken through play and adult led activity.
