Welcome to Nature's Nursery Barn
Our Nursery
Nature's Nursery Barn is a charming and inviting family-run day nursery, perfectly blending the wonders of nature with the excitement of early childhood education in a homely environment. We provide an unforgettable experience for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
Situated just 200 metres from the nearest road, we are surrounded by mature trees and fields on an over 100-year-old farmyard. Natures Nursery Barn offers an attractive natural environment that promotes nature-based learning—all within an easily accessible rural location.
We strive for excellence in everything we do, always aiming to be the best we can be. The layout of our setting enables children to learn through play, exploring both our indoor and outdoor environments. At Natures Nursery Barn, children are at the heart of our mission, and our engaging and stimulating environment provides a range of enriched learning and development opportunities.
The Curiosity Approach
At Natures Nursery Barn, we recognize that children have an inherent sense of curiosity. Our embrace of The Curiosity Approach ethos enhances the experience of early childhood education by fostering an environment of awe and wonder. This nature-based learning philosophy allows children the freedom to explore and grow.
The Curiosity Approach champions child-led learning, enabling children to make their own choices and discover solutions independently. This empowerment not only boosts confidence but also enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
As we believe, 'Curiosity is something in all of us – it just needs to be ignited.' It is this curiosity that stimulates our thought processes and prompts us to ask vital 'why' questions. Rather than being passive recipients of information, curiosity drives us to explore more deeply.
In The Moment Planning
In the moment planning at our day nursery emphasizes integrating children's interests within the learning environment and activities, which is fundamental to early childhood education. We document these interests and tailor the curriculum accordingly, enhancing their natural curiosity and reinforcing learning through their passions, while also incorporating elements of nature-based learning.
