We offer trusted, affordable childcare in Andover at The Scott Centre and Pilgrims Cross, supporting 200+ pupils with activities like sports, arts, homework support, and outdoor play in a safe, OFSTED-registered setting. All schools are welcome at The Scott Centre, with pickups from Balksbury, Clatford, Vigo, Norman Gate and Mark Way.
Our OFSTED-registered Woodland Holiday Clubs at Itchen Valley Country Park and our Outdoor Learning Centre offers children aged 5-11 the chance to explore, play, and learn in nature. With a forest school theme, kids can enjoy activities like den building, wildlife spotting, bushcraft, and outdoor games while developing confidence and teamwork skills.
Offering the perfect mix of fun and learning, our Ofsted registered holiday club in Andover will ensure your children are able to make the most of their holiday.  Our highly trained and dedicated staff will run a variety of arts and crafts and sporting activities, games, baking and even day trips.
Join us at our Forest School sessions for parents and children aged 2 - 5. These weekly woodland sessions focus on a different theme each week including books, festivals, or celebrations, and give families the chance to spend positive time outdoors, learn new things and, most importantly, have fun!
The Nest is a gentle, outdoor playgroup at Little Owls Preschool for babies aged 0-2, up to confidently walking.
Little ones can explore our beautiful woodland at their own pace through sensory play, toys, music and more, finishing with a snack and optional songs. It’s also a welcoming space for parents and carers to enjoy a cuppa and cake, relax and connect with other families.
