About Us

Our Mission

Our nursery is unique, our children are at the heart of everything we do, We have completely free flow within our nursery, our children have complete freedom and autonomy of their nursery with constant access to our outside area, absolutely ideal for children who love the outdoors

You will not find routines of set circle times, story or activity times we do not believe in forcing children to stop their independent play to join adults in activities where they are expected to sit still and quietly. We support children’s individual needs, we believe that children develop at their own pace and our dedicated staff take the time to get to know your child and help support them having in mid children’s interests within a safe, happy and secure environment

We are highly trained and support children with additional needs. Educational needs specialist often comment on how well we support our children and families

Our dedicated staff nurture and support your child’s individual learning and development at their own pace. We offer a stimulating environment free flow indoors and in our garden and forest area for children to develop key skills such as confidence, critical thinking, independence and self-regulation. We believe in child led play and our setting reflects this with our practitioners supporting each child individually
