This nursery, which opened in January 2025, builds upon its ten years of experience in running fully outdoor forest nurseries, aiming to provide children with ample opportunities to engage with nature. The nursery caters to children from 18 months, following a 'forest readiness' assessment, and offers full-day sessions from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, 51 weeks a year, with a minimum attendance requirement of two days per week. Children begin their day in a converted cottage that serves as an indoor space and enjoy a nutritious breakfast before venturing outdoors. The curriculum focuses on outdoor play, including treasure hunts, den building, tree climbing, tool work, and fire safety, alongside creative play, storytelling, and forest mathematics. Meals and snacks are provided throughout the day, both in the forest and back at the cottage, where children reflect on their daily adventures. The nursery maintains a low staff-to-child ratio of 1:4. Our ethos We are passionate about providing an opportunity for our Little Forest Folk-ers to run, jump, explore and play in nature, as they learn about the world around them & become creative, resilient little learners.
