Our story, mission & values

Family-owned, faith-inspired and built on decades of love for early years education.

Our story

From the Meadows, a new tree grows

Meadows Tree began with a simple conviction: every child deserves to grow up in a beautiful place, surrounded by people who believe in them. When the former Meadows school site on Larchcroft Road became available, our family saw the chance to give this much-loved building a new chapter — as a nursery and family learning centre serving Ipswich for generations to come.

We are restoring and reimagining the building room by room: bright, calm learning spaces, natural materials, and gardens designed for adventure and wonder.
