Help your child enjoy a great start to their school life with the help of the Family Workers at Hart Hill Nursery School. Providing expert support for parents and kids alike, the school aims to make the transition into nursery as simple as possible.

Intriguing and delighting Bucks and beyond since the mid-19th century, the Bucks County Museum has long showcased interesting exhibitions and hosted great activities. First opened by the Bucks Archaeological Society, the museum works to tell the historical tale of the beautiful county of Bucks.

Despite its long and storied past, the museum always has one eye on the future and its main objective today is to represent all parts of the Bucks community. With exhibitions and stories from the local Hindu, LGBTQ, disabled and Muslim communities, the museum hopes to build a more connected and better represented Bucks.

And, to really represent the locals that it serves, the museum actively encourages the communities of Bucks to donate their stories and objects to the exhibitions and gallery space. It’s this continuously evolving approach to storytelling that keeps the Bucks County Museum relevant and a truly inspiring place for every local to visit.
