Welcome to Horns Drove
Community Childcare

Horns Drove Community Childcare is a registered charity providing trusted early years education and childcare for families across Nursling and Rownhams.

We care for up to 30 children per day, supported by a dedicated team of 3 Directors and over 13 experienced staff members who share a passion for nurturing young minds.

Founded in 1985 by local parents seeking a village playgroup, we’ve grown into a well-established childcare provider known for our community spirit, professional standards, and child-centred approach. Since 2007, we’ve operated from a purpose-built lodge within the grounds of Rownhams St John’s Primary School, offering a safe, stimulating environment for children to learn and thrive.

If you are looking for a charity-run preschool or a setting that prioritises child safety and wellbeing, Horns Drove is here to support your family.

Our range of services includes early education for children aged 2 to 11 years, through a range of services designed to support families year-round:
