A generous outdoor space for play and exploration
Our large garden gives children the time and space to explore, move and discover. Outdoor play is part of everyday life here, supporting children’s confidence, wellbeing and natural curiosity.
Hi everyone, I’m Rachel – welcome to Nära Horton.
As a mum of two young children and with over 12 years in early years, I care deeply about creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn. My experience, including time spent exploring approaches in Iceland, has strengthened my belief in the importance of outdoor play and the role nature plays in children’s wellbeing and confidence.
With our outdoor space, we encourage children to explore, follow their interests and develop at their own pace. For me, it’s about giving children the time, care and freedom they need to grow with confidence.
We hope to meet you and your family soon!

Meals with Storal
Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.
Our bespoke food menus cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy nutritious meals. With a wide range of meal options, we provide a diverse and inclusive dining experience that encourages healthy eating and introduces new flavors.
Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.
