# Farleigh School Nursery & Early Years Construction Case Study
Darcy Construction was delighted to deliver the brand-new, purpose-built Farleigh School Nursery facility at Red Rice near Andover, Hampshire, opening on schedule for the start of the academic year.
For our team, it is particularly rewarding to see a completed build move beyond handover and begin doing what it was designed to do: creating a safe, welcoming, and child-focused learning environment for pupils, staff, and the wider school community.
## Purpose-Designed Early Years Facilities
The new Farleigh School Nursery project brought together tailored educational spaces, specialist child-focused amenities, and the high-quality interior and exterior finishes required for an important addition to the campus.
Our scope of works spanned complete internal fit-outs, structural refurbishments, and modern circulation spaces designed specifically for early years development.
