Our Robins Room is a cosy, nurturing space for just five babies, offering a gentle introduction to nursery life. Designed especially for babies who are not yet mobile, the room gives little ones space to explore, enjoy close interaction with caring adults and develop at their own pace.
Through supervised tummy time, babies build the strength and coordination they need for reaching, rolling, sitting and eventually crawling. Carefully chosen sensory resources introduce different textures, colours and sounds, encouraging curiosity and early discovery. Songs, stories and face-to-face play support communication, while warm, responsive interactions help babies feel safe and secure
Our Woodpecker’s Room is a warm, welcoming space designed for 18 children aged 2 to 4 years old, offering a calm and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Thoughtfully organised to support exploration, creativity, and early development, the room provides a range of engaging areas for children to enjoy. Little ones can build their fine motor skills through carefully planned “funky fingers” activities, express themselves creatively at the arts and crafts area, and explore different textures in our malleable play area. Our small world and construction spaces encourage imagination, storytelling, and problem-solving, while sensory experiences such as sand and water play provide endless opportunities for discovery.
With our small, intimate environment and strong focus on quality interactions, every element of the Woodpecker’s Room is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our Ravenhill garden offers plenty of opportunities for children to explore, create and enjoy the outdoors. From mixing and making in the mud kitchen to getting creative at our outdoor easel, each area encourages curiosity and learning through play. Our bike and scooter track supports balance and coordination, while sand and water play invite children to scoop, pour, experiment and discover.
We’re excited to develop our garden further with a large-scale construction area, where children will be able to build together, explore their ideas and practise problem-solving through imaginative play.
