Nursery Care
From 8 weeks old
We tailor all learning opportunities on each individual child’s interests and abilities. From storytelling to yoga, artwork to games, your child will be engaged in a style of age-specific education that nurtures children’s natural curiosity and encourages communication. You’ll find us learning numbers and counting by looking at trees and birds, shapes and colours are aided by leaves and feathers, and natural elements investigated with water, air and sometimes even mud.
Nursery Information
Our Nursery rooms
We pride ourselves on our enrichment programme, which includes The Curiosity Approach teaching method, field trips, music sessions, yoga, and plenty of nature-based forestry education in addition to EYFS curriculum. Our settings are situated in beautiful rural and woodland locations offering fantastic indoor and outdoor play in safe cozy environments.
We are passionate about Forestry and strongly encourage spending time in nature; all our children go out at least twice a day and whenever possible. Your child will be provided times for quiet and busy play, sleep/rest time, outdoor and indoor activities, structured, group and child-led free play.
Robins

Rabbits
Our Rabbits room is designed to emphasise play-based learning. It includes a variety of activities that promote hands-on exploration, problem-solving, creativity, and social interactions, such as role-play, construction, art, and sensory play.
Squirrels
Our Squirrels room focuses on play-based learning, providing opportunities for children to actively engage in the learning process, make choices, and develop their interests and abilities.
Health and Nutrition
We take special pride in excellent nutrition.
Good nutrition is something that we hold in high regard. All our meals are homemade, simple, yet adventurous and are packed with enough energy to ensure the children can be active and happy all day. We have a daily in-house chef that cooks onsite for all our children (Thriftwood, Norseywoods & Wickford preschool and nurseries only).
We want to teach children more about healthy lifestyles and encourage the adoption of healthy eating and active living. We love food variety, eating in the forest, working in our allotment, making homemade cakes for cold days and deliciously warming hot chocolate around a campfire.
Of course, some children have varied tastes and tolerances; we cater for all dietary requirements and have a robust system in place to ensure each child safely receives the right food.
