About this day nursery

Tiny Tots @ Trethorne Ltd is a nursery committed to fostering a homely and secure environment where children feel safe, confident, and eager to learn. Their pedagogical approach centres on child-led exploration, encouraging curiosity and independence through play-based learning.

The nursery focuses on understanding each child's unique background and experiences to provide tailored support and promote a strong sense of belonging. With a strong emphasis on outdoor play, facilities include a naturalistic garden and direct access to a private woodland area for Forest School activities, allowing children to engage with the natural world and develop vital problem-solving skills.

The beautifully designed building features soft furnishings and muted colours, creating a calming atmosphere. It is divided into three distinct rooms: the Caterpillar Room for under-twos, the Ladybird Room for two-to-three-year-olds, and the Dragonfly Room for pre-schoolers, each offering age-appropriate facilities and direct garden access.

The nursery prides itself on its emergent play curriculum, adapting experiences daily to meet individual needs and involving parents in co-constructing the learning journey. They also prepare children for future success by developing self-regulation and emotional literacy.
