Preschool

Our Preschool Room is a vibrant and nurturing space designed for children aged 2–4, where curiosity and creativity flourish. The room can accommodate up to 20 children and is led by Sarah, alongside an experienced team of three qualified practitioners. Sarah, a highly experienced childcare professional with over 20 years in the field and a qualified Forest School leader, brings her expertise in outdoor and child-led learning, fostering independence, confidence, and curiosity in every child.

Our facilities have been thoughtfully designed by an expert in early childhood learning environments, ensuring that every element supports children’s natural development. The room features child hand-washing facilities, a cosy book corner for quiet moments, and an interactive board to complement our literacy and math curriculum. All toys, water bottles, and tissues are placed at child level to encourage independence, helping little ones build confidence in managing their own needs.

A separate room provides a peaceful space where younger children can take naps undisturbed. This space also serves as our role-play area and home corner We have taken great care to design a warm, inviting, and thoughtfully arranged space that encourages creativity, confidence, and meaningful play.
