Based in the picturesque village of Mattishall and established in 1994, Rockinghorse provides OFSTED registered childcare for babies and preschool children aged between 3 months and 5 years. We also provide additional facilities for school-age children over 4 years in the form of 'Stallions' our Breakfast, After-School and Holiday Club.
Rockinghorse is situated in a fully adapted barn conversion with a generous area at the front of the premises for off-road parking. At the rear of the barn there is a large paved and grassed area with a variety of trees and hedges. This area is securely fenced and surrounded by natural foliage backing onto open fields and woodland.

Services
The 0 - 2 year olds are cared for in the Foals Room by qualified members of staff who have experience in delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, with particular reference to the youngest children. Our ethos sits well within the guiding principles of the EYFS as parents/carers are consulted about feeding and sleeping patterns for babies and established routines will be adhered to as much as possible.
Children move to the Yearlings Room during their second year (obviously depending on their stage of development). Children who have spent time in the Foals Room will be familiar with the Yearlings Room as they will have had the opportunity to visit and integrate with their peers to enable a smooth transition to the next stage of their journey at Rockinghorse.
Continuity of care at Rockinghorse is provided through the Stallions - Breakfast, After School and Holiday Club. This facility is available for children aged 4 - 11 years. Care at Stallions is available to suit specific times and needs and arrangements can be made to transport children to and from Mattishall and Yaxham Primary Schools.
All children are provided with fresh drinking water throughout the day. The Yearlings have a self- registration system which provides them with the number of their drinking bottle. The Foals are continuously offered water from appropriate beakers/bottles. Snacks are offered to the Foals at around mid-morning and consist of a variety of fresh fruit, water or milk (preferred healthy alternatives can be provided by parents/carers).
At Rockinghorse we are blessed with a large outdoor area which we are able to use throughout the year to promote the physical well-being of the children and engage them in activities which enhance their understanding of the natural environment. Children have the opportunity to grow plants and vegetables.
