Ofsted ‘Outstanding’

“The Nursery offers an inspiring and inclusive environment where children eagerly immerse themselves in the stimulating and engaging activities that are on offer.”

Ofsted Report, 2024

Holistic Approach to Early Years Education

At our independent nursery near Norwich, we embrace a holistic approach that supports every aspect of a child’s development — emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically. Parents recognise and adore our focus on the individual. There is never just ‘playtime’; everything is considered with thought and attention to a child’s development as part of our core ethos.

Behind every activity, our experienced staff consider three essential questions: What is the intention? How will it be implemented? And what positive impact will it have on this child’s growth? This thoughtful process ensures that every interaction, routine, and experience is carefully planned to foster confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

The Learning Environment

Our outdoor spaces complement our holistic approach, nurturing each child’s physical, emotional, and social growth. We foster independence and support emotional expression through guided play.

Set within 100 acres of woodland and parkland, our natural environment offers endless opportunities for exploration and creativity, helping children build confidence while connecting with nature.

Our Nurturing Curriculum

We have developed and implemented our own curriculum, alongside the Early Years Development Matters Foundation Framework, and it is based on nurture, growth, exploration and discovery.

Our range of everyday activities include an early introduction to phonics through ‘Read, Write, Inc.’, daily Maths investigations, outdoor learning, music, dance and physical education. Your child will build their knowledge and understanding through focusing on half-termly topics and exploring their own interests.

Our curriculum isn’t just about preparing for school — it’s about laying the foundation for a happy, balanced childhood.
