About this day nursery

The Cabin Day Nursery, located in Tavistock, focuses on providing high-quality early years education and care. Their ethos places the child at the centre of everything, recognising each child as unique and planning to meet their individual needs.

They utilise quality observations to identify strengths, encourage unique learning styles, and help children extend their learning in a fun and natural way. The nursery believes in fostering strong relationships between children, staff, and families, understanding that secure relationships are foundational to learning.

They aim to work in close partnership with parents and carers, with an easy-to-navigate app to maintain connection. The Cabin promotes an enabling environment that encourages children to explore, challenge, and wonder, offering continuous provision with a wide range of resources to build on interests and independence.
