WELCOME TO our Nursery day care settings IN MORPETH & KILLINGWORTH
Our first nursery, The Nursery at Whitehouse Farm, provides a safe and nurturing space for children to learn and play. Ideally situated within the local countryside, our nursery is easy to access from the A1, with ample parking right outside the door. The children enjoy wonderful visits and experiences at Whitehouse Farm - spending time with the animals, enjoying tractor rides and playing in the extensive parks.
We are delighted to share that we achieved an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in our recent May 2025 inspection.
​​
Our sister nursery has recently opened in North Killingworth conveniently located close to the main commuter route. The second setting has the same warm and nurturing ethos with the opportunity for children age three and above to take swimming lessons with our neighbours at the award winning Paddlepod.

Welcome To The Nursery
Welcome To The Nursery at Whitehouse Farm
The Nursery is located within the Whitehouse Farm Centre, offering acres of land to engage babies, send toddlers on expeditions to feed the goats, and set pre-school challenges for children about animals and their habitat.
The idyllic setting gives children the unique experience to be part of a working farm. For example, children will be able to feed new born lambs, learn about the roles and responsibilities of the community, and understanding how to care and work together. The odd tractor ride, race around the park or small beast encounter is sure to get top marks for entertainment.
​
​For parents, The Nursery at Whitehouse Farm is fantastic as it's ideally situated within the local countryside just minutes away from the bustle of Morpeth town. Ideal for hassle-free pick-ups and drop-offs, with easy access to and from the A1 and ample parking right outside the door.
"Thank you Whitehouse Farm for everything you have done for our daughter and are still doing for our son. From baby room all the way to pre school, the staff have been unbelievable and made it so enjoyable for our children. The nursery itself is fantastic but the fact you take the children to the farm too is the icing on the cake. Thanks again - we would highly (highly!) recommend to anyone looking at which nursery to use"
