Bringing knowledge and new experiences to the future
We are a family-owned, Scandinavian-inspired Day Nursery and Forest School established in 2003. Our Nursery is based in Hipperholme, Halifax, and provides a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, inspired, and supported in their early learning journey. Hipperholme also serves as our Community Meeting Point, where children and staff meet before being transported to our dedicated Forest School site, which was officially registered with Ofsted in 2023. We are proudly independent and have grown continuously while staying true to our values. Nature is at the core of everything we do, supporting children’s physical, intellectual, and emotional development—whether through outdoor woodland learning or the natural design of our nursery spaces. You can find more information about our Nursery and Forest School sites from their dedicated sections on our website.
We pride ourselves on being open and transparent with parents, valuing them as true partners while supporting children to grow into healthy, confident and resilient learners, inspired to reach their full potential.

Greenglade offers thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor facilities inspired by Scandinavian Forest School principles. The nursery features bright, spacious learning areas with natural wood furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and direct access to outdoor play spaces. Children benefit from outdoor play areas, woodland exploration, and a private forest school site that encourages hands-on, child-led learning in nature.
