Where small people do big growing

A home-from-home nursery for six-month-olds to school-starters — forest mornings, paint-everywhere afternoons, and naps taken seriously.

Book a look round

September places

A handful of places remain for this September in the Seedlings (under-2s) room — the waiting list opens for January on the 1st.

The Little Bloom day

Built around how children actually learn

🌳

Forest mornings

Twice a week, whatever the weather — puddle suits provided, wonder included.

🎨

Messy on purpose

Paint, dough, mud kitchen. Clothes that come home clean worry us.

📖

Stories and snoozes

A book nook that gets defended territorially, and nap rooms kept genuinely dark.

A day with us

7:45 — doors & drop-offs

Breakfast for early birds, cuddles and handover notes for everyone.

9:00 — the big morning

Forest school or garden play, then focused small-group time by room.

12:00 — lunch, cooked here

Menus by our own cook, allergies handled with military precision.

1:00 — sleep or quiet

Every child's own rhythm, logged in the app you'll refresh at work.

3:30 — tea & wind-down

Stories, garden, and the day's masterpieces packed for home.

The grown-ups

Keyworkers your child will run to

Level 3 qualified or above, paediatric first-aiders all, and turnover so low the toddlers outlast most governments.

Seedlings room lead

The baby-whisperer. Naps happen when Tom's on.

Aisha

Forest school lead

Can identify any leaf a three-year-old presents. Any leaf.

From the grown-ups at home

She cried at drop-off for a week. Now she cries at PICK-UP because she doesn't want to leave. Rude, honestly.

The app updates got me through my first month back at work. Photo of him asleep in a wheelbarrow: framed.

Seedlings room

Come and meet the mud kitchen

Visits run Tuesday and Thursday mornings — small people welcome at the viewing, obviously.
