Where small people do big growing
A home-from-home nursery for six-month-olds to school-starters — forest mornings, paint-everywhere afternoons, and naps taken seriously.
Book a look roundSeptember places
A handful of places remain for this September in the Seedlings (under-2s) room — the waiting list opens for January on the 1st.
Built around how children actually learn
Forest mornings
Twice a week, whatever the weather — puddle suits provided, wonder included.
Messy on purpose
Paint, dough, mud kitchen. Clothes that come home clean worry us.
Stories and snoozes
A book nook that gets defended territorially, and nap rooms kept genuinely dark.
A day with us
7:45 — doors & drop-offs
Breakfast for early birds, cuddles and handover notes for everyone.
9:00 — the big morning
Forest school or garden play, then focused small-group time by room.
12:00 — lunch, cooked here
Menus by our own cook, allergies handled with military precision.
1:00 — sleep or quiet
Every child's own rhythm, logged in the app you'll refresh at work.
3:30 — tea & wind-down
Stories, garden, and the day's masterpieces packed for home.
Keyworkers your child will run to
Level 3 qualified or above, paediatric first-aiders all, and turnover so low the toddlers outlast most governments.

From the grown-ups at home
“She cried at drop-off for a week. Now she cries at PICK-UP because she doesn't want to leave. Rude, honestly.”
Jess, mum of Nell (3)
Bluebells room
“The app updates got me through my first month back at work. Photo of him asleep in a wheelbarrow: framed.”

Come and meet the mud kitchen
Visits run Tuesday and Thursday mornings — small people welcome at the viewing, obviously.
