We firmly believe that every child should be given the opportunity to ‘be a child’. We therefore champion emotional wellbeing, child-led exploration and home-from-home comforts, all of which are enriched by nature and held together by a strong, supportive community. With a disruptive and genuine spirit, we create spaces where the adults ensure the children feel known, nurtured and free to blossom.

Being truly child-led is one of the golden threads running through everything we do. We tune into each child’s interests, emotions and natural rhythms, shaping the day around whatever they are ready to explore. With gentle guidance, secure relationships and open-ended opportunities, children build confidence, independence, resilience and curiosity at their own pace, feeling truly seen, heard and understood.
Emotional wellbeing and individual needs are woven into every part of our day in our Nests. We take time to understand each child’s cues, comforts and ways of communicating, creating secure relationships, with both the children and their families, to help them feel safe, regulated and ready to explore. By meeting children where they are, we nurture resilience, confidence and a strong sense of belonging from the very outset.
Home from home is felt in the warmth and familiarity of our spaces. Children share meals, stories, quiet moments and everyday routines in an environment that feels calm, personal and deeply connected. This sense of comfort helps children settle, trust and flourish, knowing The Nest is a place where they belong. Children in our Nests join in and help with everyday activities as if they were at home and the time we spend helping the child and their family feel secure and familiar with our settings and our team, is second to none. We adopt an intergenerational approach to things in our Nests; our team span from Students to parents to grandparents, this cross section of ages adds to the familiarity and home from home feel to our settings.
Our outdoor environment is a living part of how we learn, play and grow. Fresh air, open space and natural materials invite children to move freely, take thoughtful and measured risks and notice the world around them. From muddy adventures to quiet observation, nature is proven to support confidence, boost immunity, increase creativity, language and communication and enhance one’s wellbeing, every day. Being IN nature also makes children RESPECT nature, a legacy our Nests seek to embed in the children we care for.
