Brue Farm Nursery in Lovington, Somerset, was officially opened on 21 October by local dairy farmer Michael Eavis, who is well known as the owner of the farm site where the Glastonbury pop music festival is held.
The nursery is registered for 26 children aged three months to five years and offers full-time integrated daycare. Since it opened, 16 children have registered.
The purpose-built premises are made from locally sourced materials and designed to be eco-friendly, with heated flooring and zoned sensor lighting.
The nursery also has a pets' corner, where children can feed and pat the farm's cows and ponies.
Owner Katherine Farthing decided to open the nursery when she was having to travel nine miles from her home to find full-time nursery care for her youngest daughter.
