We are a sustainable and organic nursery for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers (from walking age to 5 years old)
We encourage a ‘free-flow’, child-led play, supporting the children in their natural curiosity and exploration. For older children we offer a range of more structured educational activities. From time to time, we may invite trusted volunteers to run fun sessions with our children (from musicians to firefighters).
