A nursery with a view: Explore Pippa’s House Esher at our Spring Open Day

Families are warmly invited to explore one of Surrey’s most unique early years environments as Pippa’s House Nursery Esher opens its doors for a special open day on Saturday 28 March 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm.

The event offers families the opportunity to tour the nursery, meet the friendly and experienced team, and discover how the setting supports children aged three months to five years through a nurturing, home-from-home approach to early years education.

Set in beautiful surroundings overlooking Sandown Park Racecourse, the nursery provides an inspiring place for children to play, learn and grow.

Exceptional outdoor space and racecourse views

What makes Pippa’s House Esher particularly special is its remarkable location on the edge of Sandown Park Racecourse. From the nursery’s outdoor areas, children can enjoy picturesque views across the racecourse while they play, explore and learn.

The spacious gardens encourage movement, imaginative play and discovery, giving children the freedom to enjoy fresh air and nature every day in a calm and inspiring environment.

Outdoor learning through Forest School

Outdoor play is an essential part of everyday life at Pippa’s House Esher, with the nursery’s beautiful grounds providing a rich and inspiring backdrop for learning. The outdoor areas include a variety of zones, such as spaces for active play, imaginative games, quiet discovery and creative exploration, giving children the freedom to move, play and connect with nature throughout the day.

Children regularly take part in Forest School activities, helping them develop confidence, independence and resilience in a natural setting.

Activities may include:

• Building simple shelters and dens using natural materials
• Exploring plants, wildlife and natural habitats across the grounds
• Developing problem-solving and early risk-awareness skills
• Engaging in sensory play with natural elements like leaves, sticks and soil
• Creating outdoor crafts inspired by nature

These sessions make the most of the nursery’s spacious gardens and varied zones, encouraging curiosity, hands-on learning and a deep appreciation for the natural world within a calm, safe and inspiring environment.

A nurturing and blissful space for babies

Another highlight of the nursery is its thoughtfully designed baby room, created to provide a calm and comforting environment for the youngest children.

Key features of the baby space include:

• Soft furnishings that create a cosy and relaxing environment
• Sensory resources that support early exploration and development
• Dedicated sleep areas to support rest and routine
• Experienced nursery practitioners providing attentive and responsive care
• Age-appropriate toys that encourage early milestones and discovery

Together, these features create a gentle and supportive space where babies can feel safe, secure and nurtured.
