Growild Kindergarten

About this day nursery

2-acre woodland environment. The kindergarten focuses on fostering resilience, independence, and a love for learning through Forest School principles, where nature serves as the primary classroom.

Children are encouraged to engage in imaginative play, explore, and develop new skills in a natural setting. The curriculum emphasises hands-on activities like mud pies, tool use, storytelling, and campfire cookery, promoting creativity, communication, and social development.

Growild Kindergarten aims to provide a vibrant educational community that prepares children for formal schooling by nurturing their innate curiosity and connection to the outdoors.
