OPENING HOURS: Every day from 9-5 except Sundays. All Bank Holidays except December 25/26 and January 1st. Tel: 01403 891772
HOW TO GET THERE: In normal traffic, we're 1 hour from Putney Bridge, Greenwich Park, Heathrow or the Dartford Crossing and 25 minutes from Brighton.
From the North: Use the M23 (Brighton Road), go through Handcross village (the exit is south of junction 11), follow the signs to Horsham down the B2110. Turn right on the A281. Second left is signed to Nuthurst. After 1.2 miles we're on the left just after the Black Horse Pub in Nuthurst. Look out for the Brown Tourist Signs on the A281.
From the South: The Nuthurst road is north of the A272 some 2 miles west of Cowfold. You'll find us 2.4 miles from the A272 on the right, just past the Church. Look out for the Brown Tourist Signs on the A272
Memo to all navigators: Avoid Horsham at all costs or you may never be seen again ("I'm just going into Horsham, I may be some time...")
By Train: An increasingly sensible option. 50 minutes from Victoria to Horsham, usually pretty quiet during the day. Taxis always waiting during the week (about £10 each way). Saturdays - call us if desperate! We organise the taxi to pick you up from the nursery.
