Welcome & Investigation
Garden Discovery
Shared Lunch & Rest
Creative Workshop
Children arrive into warm, familiar surroundings. Shoes swap for slippers, followed by self-directed investigation among curated wooden blocks, natural heuristic baskets, and quiet book corners.
Waterproofs and wellies on for outdoor investigation in all seasons. We inspect bug hotels, dig damp garden soil, pour water troughs, and gather seasonal seeds.
A warm, balanced home-cooked lunch eaten together around the table. Afterwards, darkened rooms and individual cotton sleep mats provide quiet, restorative afternoon naps.
Afternoons center on tactile exploration with clay, watercolours, and open-ended loose parts, closing with shared songs, nursery rhymes, and gentle parental handovers.
Curiosity guided by purpose
All-weather garden immersion
Rain or shine, fresh air anchors our mid-morning hours. Children test physical balance over log rounds, observe earthworms in compost, and develop motor strength through digging and hauling.
Story circles and speech
Language blossoms through rich conversational exchange. Rachel introduces phonetic awareness, rhyming songs, and expressive picture books on floor cushions, expanding vocabulary without pressure.
Tactile sensory discovery
Unstructured materials let toddlers test properties directly. Natural clay, cold water pouring, botanical leaf prints, and warm beeswax dough foster fine motor control and calm concentration.
Experience the setting in person
Tours are arranged by appointment so you can view our dedicated playroom, ask questions about funded hours, and observe our calm routine.
