Our Space

We are based in a beautiful log cabin and garden for your child to explore, create, and play. Our space has three distinct areas, the Art room, Library and Garden which offer your child a wide range of activities and enchanting experiences. It is a place where we hope to kindle their naturally inquisitive nature, where they can socialise and develop consistent friendships in a safe and cosy setting with acceptance, and support. 

Art Room

Children are by nature creators and the Art Room serves as a treasure trove to inspire and resource children's innate need to experiment, make and play. We want your child to be inspired and comfortable exploring, experimenting, and making mistakes. Our weekly rhythm may opportunities to try baking, cooking, woodcraft, sewing, weaving, and more.

The art room is set up with an assortment of table top and floor activities, a large rug area and open ended art area. During their time in the Art Room, children can do arts and crafts, develop pre-writing skills, get immersed in imaginative role play, and join in with music and singing. 

Library

Our cosy library is a a safe cocoon for children to get lost in stories, rest, relax, and play till their heart's content. It is a quiet space for undisturbed play and is fully stocked with a range of children's literature and open-ended toys.

It is a calm space away from the main room where children have the opportunity to explore books independently, as well as having stories read to them. 

Garden

In the garden your child can make dens, have picnics, swing in the hammock and stay connected to nature. We like to be outdoors as much as possible, whatever the weather, as outside is where children thrive, are naturally soothed and stimulated and get to move their bodies in the way they need.

Allotment

Down on the allotment your child can discover nature and build an understanding and respect for our natural environment and their place in it. Immersing themselves in our natural world inspires their mind, body and spirit. They will help tend to the plants throughout the seasons and can pick and harvest the food for our meals.

Our village

Our local area offers an abundance of wonderful outdoor adventures for your child. Every day the group will choose an outing to a range of local spaces including ancient woodlands, community orchards, a chalk stream, playing fields, children's parks, an astroturf football pitch, and the village library. 

The Rhythm of Our Day

No two days are the same, but we know that children thrive with consistency and routine. Below is an example of how our days is mapped out.
