Our Nursery

For our smallest family members, our nursery space for our 0 - 2 age group is separated from our other two learning areas to provide a peaceful, quiet room for our little ones. We have a limited number of places available within the nursery, as we believe our youngest children require a great deal of one-on-one attention while they explore and develop.

Our nursery area has its own private outdoor environment to explore safely with a range of developmental resources to stimulate their minds. Our environment encourages our children to grow and learn in a natural environment.

Our Toddler & Preschool Area

A larger environment awaits your child in our toddler and preschool rooms. Children become more tactile, experimental, and curious from age two and require more space as they explore and develop through their learning stages. With an outdoor area that has the opportunity for fun play and socialisation with friends.

Our preschool focuses on encouraging children to develop learning skills that will give them a big advantage when they start primary school and provide life-long skills through adulthood. Our learning areas are divided into organised spaces inside and outside the classroom. These are Practical life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Arts and Science/Culture, and outdoor/nature. Your children will love their learning experiences, and we are confident that you will soon start to notice how they are growing in their confidence to participate and their ability to learn.
