Welcome to the home of Portfield Farm Eco Nursery & Forest School
At Portfield Farm Eco Nursery & Forest School in Redhill, Reigate & Horley, we believe that ‘your childhood is your own to enjoy to the fullest extent possible’. We are of the opinion that your earliest learning experiences, loving bonds and golden memories may influence your learning and later life.
We are a small group of fun-loving, outdoorsy children (birth – 5 yrs) who love to explore and learn as much as possible outdoors in our lovely forest school with our pets and wildlife. We spend our days happily playing in the sunshine whilst we learn OFSTED’s EYFS, grow our own vegetables, walk our puppy and look after our horse.
Babies
Our babies receive lots of love and attention as we guarantee a 1:3 ratio of dedicated staff.
We are a small group of fun-loving outdoorsy children progressing happily through OFSTED’s Early Years Foundation Stage, whilst enjoying life experiences and child-led play with adult support. Located in tranquil rural surroundings, children also enjoy gardening and Forest School activities.
Toddlers & Pre-school
Ages 2yrs – 4yrs 11mths. Currently children move between 2 rooms with lots of play areas.
Some of the activities children may take part in:
- Arts & crafts
- Cooking & baking
- Interactive learning
…and lots more
Forest School
All of our age ranges enjoy the Forest School where we encourage children to:
- Develop personal and social skills.
- Work through practical problems and challenges.
- Use tools to create, build or manage.
…and lots more

Being the neurotic mother to my first born, choosing the right nursery was an absolute must! Portfield and the staff were welcoming, informative and so supportive as I found it hard to leave! My son absolutely loves it and I get ushered out the door after saying goodbye! Can’t recommend enough 🙂

Lovely place with great attention paid to each child due to small group setting. The natural surroundings make it a very unique nursery, great for inquisitive minds and adventurous little ones! The variety of the activities experienced each day was fantastic! X
