Babies

Our Baby room (3 months to 2 years) is a calm, nurturing, and carefully designed environment where babies can begin their journey of discovery. We provide a gentle yet stimulating atmosphere that supports learning through a wide variety of sensory and exploratory activities. From soft textures and soothing music to lights, mirrors, and natural materials, everything is inspired by each baby’s individual interests and informed by input from parents and carers.

Our dedicated practitioners work closely with each child to build strong, trusting bonds that help babies feel safe, secure, and emotionally settled. These attachments form the foundation for future learning and development. The room encourages early communication, physical development, and a love of learning through purposeful play and meaningful interactions that are both fun and enriching.

Toddlers

Our Toddler room (2–3 years) is a lively, stimulating space designed to encourage curiosity, independence, and self-expression. At this stage, children are becoming more mobile and verbal, and our environment is thoughtfully arranged to support active exploration and learning through play.

With a wide variety of child-initiated activities, toddlers can engage in hands-on experiences such as sand and water play, mark making, storytelling, baking, construction, and more. The layout allows them to move around freely, promoting confidence as they make choices and follow their own interests. Our practitioners are there to guide and support, helping children develop essential social and emotional skills, build friendships, and explore their world in a safe and engaging way.

Pre-schoolers

Our Pre-school room (3+ years) is a dynamic, engaging space that supports children as they prepare for their next big step into school. The room is carefully set up to promote independence, decision-making, and a love of learning, all while following the children’s own interests and ideas.

Children are encouraged to explore a wide range of activities including baking, imaginative role play, building and construction, early technology, arts and crafts, and more. The room offers free-flow access to our spacious garden area, giving children the opportunity to extend their learning outdoors and make independent choices throughout the day. With a strong focus on communication, early literacy, numeracy, and personal development, we support every child to reach their full potential and leave nursery confident, capable, and ready for school.

Outdoors

We like our outdoor environments to be an extension to our rooms, offering safe and secure play both indoors and outdoors throughout your child's day.

We often also like to take advantage of the social benefits and have picnics outside when the weather is nice!

We enjoy a wide range of activities with access to lots of resources to inspire your child's curiosity.

We believe outdoor play to be an essential aspect of childhood development, offering numerous physical and cognitive benefits.

Active play can aid a child to develop fundamental motor skills, enhance their coordination, balance and strength.

Regular outdoor play also contributes to a healthier lifestyle for the whole family.
