There’s no such thing as a silly question!
What will the timings of the nursery be?

51 weeks a year.

Where are you located?
We currently have nurseries established in Stanmore, Aldenham and are currently in discussion for opening in several other areas of London and the UK.
What does the average day look like?
We start each day with welcoming all the children and parents, pupils begin the day with setting the scene and then we move to the activities for the day. These can include a variety of forest games, treasure hunts, climbing trees, digging holes, story-telling and much more! Children come back to the base for meals and pick-ups, or they eat in a forest camp style setting!
...but we live in Britain, what about the rain/cold weather?
No problem! We understand that children need to be warm and comfortable when outdoors to ensure that they get the most from their learning and play experience. While the woods themselves give natural shelter we ensure extra protection if there is a sudden downpour and we don’t want it to get in the way of outdoor fun. “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” say the temperature- challenged Scandinavians, and we find that as long as children have robust clothing, are out of biting wind and have their hands and feet kept warm at all times, they are happy to play in all weather conditions.
What happens if there is an accident / emergency?
Studies show that children who are used to playing outdoors are at far less risk of injuring themselves. They are more aware and stable in an understanding of their capabilities than children not so accustomed to such an environment. However we do have a protocol for such emergencies (as do all nurseries) where a first aider will attend to your child while another member of staff will meet medical staff if necessary to bring them to the site.
