About this day nursery

Naturally Learning Falmouth, rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted, is a charming nursery situated in a converted bungalow on Dracaena Avenue, Falmouth. The nursery caters to children aged 0-5 years, providing a calm yet stimulating environment.

It boasts an abundance of natural light and a distinctive coloured glass feature wall that contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The outdoor area features a Japanese-inspired sensory garden, a large deck, a water cascade, and a fire pit, alongside quiet wildlife zones and an allotment garden for growing produce. The nursery also offers unique experiences such as Beach School, a short drive from local beaches, and visits to Truro Forest School via their fleet of mini-vans, further expanding learning opportunities and fostering a connection with the natural world.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have extremely high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The special educational needs coordinator has excellent relationships with other agencies, ensuring children with SEND have their needs individually met and make excellent progress.

Outdoor space

All the children love to play outdoors. They move around freely to develop their physical skills. The outdoor gardens are carefully designed to develop children's healthy lifestyles and choices. Pre-school children spend much of their day in the large garden, where they have home-cooked meals, clear and wash dishes, draw, run, climb, create water systems, and help grow fruit and vegetables.
