Nurturing Young Minds, One Adventure at a Time
Our Vision and Values
Red Wellies was born from a deep-seated passion to nurture young minds and empower them through play-based learning in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe in the transformative power of early childhood education and the importance of fostering a love for the outdoors.
Our Team
Led by experienced educators Jo and Richard Stainsby, Red Wellies boasts a team of qualified and passionate professionals who are committed to providing exceptional care and educational support for children from their earliest days. We proudly invest in our staff through ongoing training and development, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to guide young minds on their unique journeys.
Our Approach to Learning
Inspired by the outdoors, our curriculum encourages exploration, discovery, and experiential learning. Through child-centered activities, we nurture cognitive development, physical skills, and social-emotional growth. We believe in providing a platform where children can:
- Engage in creative exploration through messy play and dramatic play.
- Develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills through outdoor adventures.
- Build confidence and self-esteem through positive reinforcement.
- Embrace a love for language and literacy through engaging stories and conversations.
Our Facilities
Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Foolpenny Hall, our state-of-the-art facility offers a nurturing environment for young minds to flourish. We take great pride in providing:
- A cozy baby room with an outdoor play area.
- A dedicated sleep room for restful naps.
- A spacious toddler room with opportunities for exploration and discovery.
- A bright and airy Tweenies room designed for social interaction and language development.
- A comfortable mini-pre-school and pre-school with plenty of space to create.
Our Commitment to You
Red Wellies is committed to open communication and transparency. Our secure web page allows you to stay updated on your child's daily activities through photos, comments, and audio files. We actively seek feedback from parents to ensure we are meeting their needs and exceeding expectations.

Red Wellies Nursery has received glowing reviews from several satisfied parents. They have praised the nursery for its exceptional care and service, citing staff kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism. Parents have highlighted the nursery's ability to make their children feel at home, with one parent stating that her grandson smiles more than ever before when he is there.

They also mentioned that they wish they had paid more attention to publicly available information about upheld formal complaints. Unfortunately, this negative review has highlighted areas that the nursery may need to improve on.
