Everything your little one needs to grow

At Mercy Land, childhood is not a race. It is a journey of curiosity, connection and wonder, and we make sure every part of it is well looked after.

3 meals a day

Breakfast, lunch and snacks cooked on site. Nutritious food to fuel healthy bodies and busy minds, with seconds for hungry tummies.

Learning through play

Play-based, child-led learning with Jolly Phonics and an age-appropriate curriculum, so children leave ready for Grade 1.

4 sporting codes

Cricket, rugby, golf and chess are part of every week, and included in your fees.

Farming

Every child gets their own garden plot and a "title deed", learning responsibility, patience and a love for the land.

We treat every child
like our own

A home away from home, grounded in faith

Mercy Land began in 2019 with one promise to parents: we will love and care for your child as if they were our own. Today our school is a bright, homely house in Vorna Valley with a big garden for little feet.

Every day starts with a Bible story and prayer. Faith is a big part of how children grow here.
Qualified, caring teachers who know every child by name and send you daily feedback.
Uncompromising safety, with live CCTV so you can watch your little one grow while you work.
