Our Rooms

Seedling Room (3 months+)

Our Seedling Room provides a calm, nurturing space tailored to support babies from 3 months onward. With soft furnishings and age-appropriate sensory and physical play equipment, we focus on building strong attachments, promoting physical development, and encouraging emotional security. Singing and rhymes are a daily feature to support early communication, listening, and language skills. Our practitioners respond to babies’ individual routines, providing a home-from-home environment where babies can explore, thrive, and feel safe.

Saplings & Hazel Rooms (13 months+)

Designed for toddlers from around 13 months, these rooms are buzzing with curiosity and active exploration. We embrace messy play, supporting both gross and fine motor skill development through tactile and hands-on experiences. Practitioners focus on supporting early language development, self-awareness, and social interactions. With plenty of time spent outdoors, toddlers develop physical confidence and explore the world around them, laying the foundations for independence and critical thinking.

Cherrys & Maples Rooms (24–42 months)

Children in these rooms are constantly on the move, mastering new physical skills and becoming confident communicators. This age group thrives on active learning and imaginative play, which we encourage through rich, language-filled interactions and creative activities. We support their growing independence, emotional development, and social understanding. Daily outdoor play is essential for building coordination, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

Sycamore & Oaks Rooms (36 months–5 years)

These rooms focus on school readiness and preparing children for the next stage in their learning journey. We offer a broad curriculum that supports literacy, numeracy, communication, and social-emotional skills through purposeful play and child-led learning. Our environment encourages critical thinking, turn-taking, problem-solving, and a positive sense of self. We work in partnership with families and local schools to ensure a confident transition into Reception.

Forest School Sessions

We are also proud to offer Forest School sessions at the beautiful Swanley Park. These outdoor learning experiences give children the opportunity to build resilience, teamwork, and independence while connecting with the natural world. From den building to exploring local wildlife, Forest School promotes holistic development and nurtures a lifelong love of nature and outdoor play.
