Fairytale Forest Day Nursery

Welcome to Fairytale Forest, a unique environment where learning is inspired by play. Our ethos is deeply rooted in the belief that children's interests should be encouraged, their natural curiosity harnessed, and their language skills and mathematical thinking developed. We aim to provide a setting where imagination, creativity, and physical play are valued, and positive social relationships are fostered. We believe in recognising and rewarding achievements, both of the children and practitioners, and strive to create a positive, welcoming environment for all.

At Fairytale Forest, we are committed to promoting the importance of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Our review and monitoring processes ensure that we provide the best care to your child and your family, with a strong emphasis on individual learning and development.

Learning Inspired by Nature

The natural environment is at the heart of our ethos. We believe that nature is beautiful and instils a respect for the environment in children. Our innovative use of natural resources and custom-designed indoor and outdoor environments create a unique learning experience that supports and reflects the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Every Child Matters agenda.

At Fairytale Forest, we provide a welcoming, homely atmosphere where children are treated as individuals, respected, valued, and confident. We are committed to providing high-quality childcare services in anti-discriminatory surroundings, promoting equal opportunities within the Nursery.

Building Strong Foundations

Our mission is to provide quality care and education in a safe and stimulating environment. Under the guidance of an experienced Management Team, Fairytale Forest Day Nursery provides for all the physical, emotional, and educational needs of children from two to five years. We believe that reflective practice is the most effective way to achieve the highest quality care and education, and we aim to raise standards and expectations in childcare with our strong, passionate team.

Our compassionate practitioners are carefully selected educators, highly valued for their multitude of skills, expertise, and experience. They are dedicated, passionate, and have a wonderful nurturing attitude, laying the foundations for your child's future success.

Recapturing Traditional Values

At Fairytale Forest, we respect and pay due regard to each child's individual needs, taking into account their race, gender, ethnicity, language, and disability. We believe in fostering acceptance, independence, and empowerment, allowing confidence to flourish. Our curriculum planning incorporates positive opportunities for all children, reflecting and celebrating diversity and addressing issues of race, culture, gender, and disability. We offer equal access to support, development, and learning, and we always welcome and encourage parents to be involved in the life of the nursery.

The Magic of Learning

Our unique learning environments are inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner and his approach to teaching, learning, and development. Our children's rooms are adapted visually to create a beautiful woodland-inspired habitat for extending learning through creativity and the senses, promoting an abundance of messy play. With dedicated areas of learning depicted, and British habitat theming throughout, we have the whole spectrum of colours that appeal to different emotions, creating an environment that appeals to everybody who visits Fairytale Forest.
