An exciting new purpose-built nursery conveniently located next to New Milton Junior School. Your child will be inspired to explore and learn, both indoors and outdoors always supported by caring and experienced staff.

Our friendly staff reflect our values – listening, caring, welcoming, exciting, inspiring and active, ensuring your child has the best nursery experience possible.

By working together, every child can be given the opportunity and support to thrive and build all of the skills needed to be a happy, healthy and confident individual.

Babies (0 – 2 years)

Our experienced team create a safe and nurturing ‘home from home’ for your child, establishing strong bonds with baby and you.  We work closely with you to understand your child’s interests and emerging personality, and help with big steps such as weaning and walking.

New experiences are introduced as your child develops, such as treasure baskets, controlled climbing and heuristic play.

Your child will have daily opportunities to get messy, be physically active and express their creativity and development. A cosy sleep space ensures a relaxing nap time.

Children also have access to the garden with plenty of resources and shelter.

Toddlers (2 – 3 years)

Your child will want lots of opportunities to be physically active and to build on their growing confidence and independence. They will learn about their environment through play, discovering how fast they can move, how to co-ordinate and developing their imagination.

Our welcoming indoor space provides opportunities for children to thrive and develop as well as gain further independence. The garden area allows for children to refine their gross motor skills and develop their fine motor skills even further

Throughout their time in the toddler room, your child will have new experiences every day, getting involved in messy activities and being both active and social with our wide variety of role-play opportunities.

Pre-school (3 -5 years)

Your child will want to take that next step into independence and resilience, taking ownership of their space. They will learn new things and revisit their previous experiences to aid their development.

Our indoor and outdoor spaces will ensure your child benefits from a mixture of child initiated and adult led activities to enhance their learning and help them achieve their next steps.

As your child grows, they’ll have daily opportunities to develop confidence, independence and social skills, spending much of their time outdoors. Outside they’ll climb, run, balance, jump and splash.  In the garden, they’ll problem solve, take risks, share ideas, develop their language and have imaginative adventures.
