About this day nursery

Naturally Learning Redruth is a nursery located in the heart of Redruth, offering a stimulating environment for children aged 0-5 years. Housed within a beautifully restored old library, the nursery retains original period features while providing a calm and inspiring space for learning and development.

The facility spans three floors, with dedicated areas for babies, 2-3 year olds, and a preschool in the old "Reading Room" which includes an Atelier and Project Space. The nursery emphasises outdoor learning with courtyard gardens and regular trips to Truro Forest School in their mini-vans, fostering a connection with the natural world and the local community.

The curriculum is child-led, encouraging play, exploration, and inquiry, with a strong focus on physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being. Naturally Learning Redruth also prides itself on its healthy, home-cooked, seasonal meals prepared by in-house chefs, promoting positive eating habits and brain development.

They also prioritise developmental movement and provide peaceful spaces for rest, working in partnership with parents to support individual child development through highly qualified and experienced educators who build authentic relationships and offer professional love through a Key Person system. The nursery is committed to sustainability and fostering the next generation of conservationists.

Our ethos

At Naturally Learning, our ethos is built around nurturing the whole child through a holistic approach to childcare, understanding the critical importance of early brain development. We prioritise a child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being by providing wholesome, seasonal meals prepared by in-house chefs, encouraging developmental movement through spacious and open-ended environments that support core strength and motor skills, and offering peaceful spaces for rest and reflection. We are committed to building authentic relationships with children and working in partnership with parents, fostering confidence, independence, and resilience. Our child-led, project-based pedagogy emphasises play, exploration, and inquiry, with a particular focus on outdoor learning through Forest and Beach School sessions. We also embed sustainability into our vision, aiming to instil a love for the natural world and nurture future conservationists.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and highly trained staff work closely with parents and outside agencies to ensure referrals are made in a timely manner so that children get the support they need at the nursery and in preparation for the move to school. Staff recognise the long wait for external interventions and use their extensive knowledge to create individual plans for children to provide them with inclusive, exciting learning opportunities tailored to their specific needs. Most recently, staff have attended training on neurodivergence to help them best support and understand children's behaviour successfully.

Outdoor space

Pre-school children have daily forest school visits, where they learn real life skills, learn how to manage and take risks and explore nature alongside highly trained and knowledgeable staff.
