We understand the importance of positive and strong relationships and attachments. We aim to build this relationship from step one, offering a stay & play session with your child, before your child starts nursery. We strongly recommend a settling in period, beginning with one one hour session and then building it up to your child’s full hours.

For our children to be healthy, we make sure they are:

• Happy and safe

• Develop independence & resilience.

• Nurture their confidence, curiosity, imagination, self-respect and responsibility to others

• Passion for the outdoors

• Explore and adapt to new ideas and thinking

• Build relationships and knowledge

• Prepare for their next stage of learning

We believe that all children should be given the best start in their educational journey. We value the importance of our one-of-a-kind outdoor environment and offers children with the opportunity to develop many lifelong learning skills, like thinking & problem solving. We are committed to providing children with the best start to their school life, teaching them skills and giving them experiences, which will ensure their wellbeing now and success in the future.

We really want the children to have the opportunity to embrace the area we live in. We use nature's resources to inspire a life-long love of learning. We have level 3 trained Forest school leaders who embed the Forest school approach.

Our Curriculum Intent and Purpose:

To ensure all our children have the very best start by ensuring they fulfil their potential through providing a wide variety of experiences and adventures, making the most of our forest environment.

Each room has carefully constructed a unique, individual approach to providing an outstanding and beneficial curriculum. This enables us to plan for each individual child, ensuring their age is accounted for and their personal needs are at the heart of the key persons planning. Unique styles include “in the moment planning”, loose adult & child led themes including parent input to planning.
