Our nursery environment and facilities enable your child to explore, develop and learn. Our Baby, Toddler and Preschool spaces are specially designed and equipped especially with them in mind. You’ll see many familiar homely items such as bookcases, tables, chairs, and sofas just much smaller than you are used to!
Hygge is the Scandinavian term for a comfortable, cosy and warm feeling.
We like to visit the rooms through the eyes of the child as the enabling environment is our second teacher. We have extended this sensation into the nursery setting while also incorporating the Curiosity Approach using soft furnishing, subtle lighting, open ended resources, and plants. We want our children to experience a sense of well being- of being cared for.
The children can explore their environment with confidence knowing where to access their favourite resources, experiencing awe and wonder from the amazing activities planned for by the professional team that care for them all. We want to enable all of our children to experience a sense of home and belonging- of conviviality. – Maria Montessori

Babies Environment
Our baby rooms offer so much for the youngest children at our nursery, providing them with a space that caters for their quickly developing needs. Space for cosy cuddles and stretches in their infancy, toys and activities to boost their physical development – rolling, sitting, standing, and striding. And place for that all-important exploration as they begin to make their mark on their little world. To support this babies get more space per individual child than the older children at the nursery, enabling them to master their movement and interactions before progressing on their nursery journey.
Toddlers Environment
Around the age of 24 months, the children progress to the Tweenies and Toddlers rooms, introducing them to a world of possibility! We carefully design the layout and equipment to give Tweenies and Toddlers many opportunities to challenge themselves through exploring freely to manipulate and master the toys, games and learning resources.
In these rooms, we see your child introduced to caring for themselves and taking their first steps towards independence with potties, toilets and sinks available within the room where your child will be supported, guided, and encouraged. You will notice that we have many familiar household items and features available for your child to play with, this supports your child’s natural desire to imitate what they see you and other adults do around them, with smaller versions designed with their development solely in mind.
Preschool Environment
Your child will embark on their pre-school journey with us at around three years old, enjoying an enriching learning environment that fully supports their individual needs as well as the group activities and play. There will be some guided areas, such as construction area, home corner, book area, and creative spaces for music and art.
To complement these, we provide a range of areas and activities which serve different purposes to inspire your child’s imagination and role play, they’ll be able to safely explore feelings and friendships, develop problem-solving, and have space available where they can have quiet time and reflection. Their time in the pre-school environment leads them towards starting their school journey, where their first year at school sees them complete their Early Years Foundation Stage journey that began at our nursery.
