There will be major roadworks on the A382 starting 25th September 2025 with a road closure and diversion affecting anyone trying to get to the nursery from Newton Abbot (A38/Bovey Tracey direction will be unaffected). Sara says she hopes that everyone will still be able to come to the nursery during this time and find a way around the diversions. It will just mean allowing a little extra time for your journeys.
