Nursery Name
Wise Owls Childcare is a locally owned and run childcare business founded in 2000 by Tanya Galitzine. It has grown into an exceptional childcare service for children between the ages of 8 weeks and 13 years, offering OFTSED registered Day Nursery, Breakfast & After School Clubs and Holiday Clubs.
At Wise Owls Childcare, we believe that children flourish when they feel safe, supported, and inspired. We create a nurturing environment where learning is joyful and discovery is encouraged through fun, engaging, and stimulating activities. Every child is celebrated as an individual, and we are passionate about helping them grow into confident, curious learners equipped with essential life skills—such as sharing, problem-solving, socialising, and caring for others.
At Wise Owls, we are committed to providing a secure, caring space where children can learn, grow, and build the foundations for a bright future. Our learning environments are warm, comfortable and age appropriate, and they are thoughtfully resourced to spark curiosity and stimulate imagination.
Our vision for Wise Owls children is that when they are ready to leave us and go on to school – they have grown into independent, resilient, imaginative, kind and empathetic individuals that have the confidence and curiosity to spread their wings and grow. Our curriculum outlines what we want children to learn in their time with Wise Owls Childcare. It shares our aims, intent and how all seven areas of learning are met in our every day planning and activities, with a particular focus on how we promote these through outdoor learning.
