Hi, I'm Sophie, the Nursery Manager at Farley Steeple Langford.

Every day at Farley Steeple, we inspire our children to be curious, imaginative, and confident learners through our exceptional outdoor learning environment. In doing so, they develop not just a love for learning, but a lifelong sense of wonder about the world around them.

Our dedicated and long-standing team brings a wealth of early years experience and a deep understanding of each child’s unique journey. We believe that children learn best through play, especially when surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Set in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, in the picturesque village of Steeple Langford, our children enjoy regular visits to the local park, Langford Lakes, and even the nearby community care home—helping them build a strong sense of belonging and connection with their wider community.

At Farley Steeple, nature isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a teacher, a playground, and a source of endless inspiration.
