Village nursery where children are surrounded by farm animals and tractors celebrates 20th birthday
A nursery based on a working farm has celebrated its 20th birthday.
Farm Friends Day Nursery based at Home Farm in Condover in the beautiful Shropshire countryside was founded on June 10 in 2005.
Owner Lucy Cartwright's husband had given up milking on their farm, leaving the milking parlour redundant. And so, inspired by a nursery situated on a farm in Staffordshire, Lucy poached the idea and never looked back.
The thriving nursery expanded years later to include another converted farm building. Children enjoy exploring the nursery's expansive grounds and regularly enjoy seeing sheep, turkeys, and cows amongst other farm animals, alongside farm machinery such as tractors.
