The February half-term is fast approaching meaning parents, including Pippa Middleton, can look forward to time with their kids at home.
The Princess of Wales’ sister shares three children – Arthur, six, Grace, three, and Rose, two – with her husband James Matthews, and earlier this week she hinted at her half-term plans as her eldest looks forward to a break from school.
Pippa, along with her husband and their business partner James Murray, owns Bucklebury Farm. Earlier this week the farm, which is open to the public, shared a post detailing half-term activities on offer including drop-off children’s yoga sessions, cookie decorating, drop-off LEGO sessions, and Valentine’s Day-themed arts and crafts.
It is not the first time Pippa has offered insights into the goings on at Bucklebury Farm this year. In January, the official Instagram account of the site shared a message reading: “Bucklebury Farm is considering opening a nursery for children aged 9 months to 5 years. If you’re interested, please feel free to DM us or email [email protected] to stay updated. We’d also love to hear your thoughts and suggestions – let us know what you think.”
It is not known where Pippa’s daughters attend nursery or if Rose is attending a nursery yet but royal fans will be waiting to see how the presence of an on-site nursery impacts Pippa and James’ choice.
Bucklebury Farm: all the details

Pippa and her family’s half-term plans
If not spending the break at home in Berkshire, royal fans can expect that the cookbook author will consider a Caribbean getaway. In 2019, they holidayed in St Barths and while doing so made the most of the facilities at the luxury five-star hotel, Eden Rock, which is owned by the Matthews family.
