Nursery Availability

Looking for nursery spaces can be a frustrating challenge, especially when left too late. To make sure you get the space booked that you need, you need to start looking as early as 12 weeks pregnant. Nursery spaces everywhere are very limited and this blog aims to explain why this is and how you can get ahead and get the spaces you need.

Growing up naturally

I’ve spent decades contemplating how to best guide children toward becoming capable, resilient adults. Initially inspired by my own kids, I’ve developed evolving principles seen at Beach Babies. These include using natural materials to engage all senses, allowing child-led exploration, providing some adult guidance to extend learning, offering open-ended resources to foster creativity, maintaining a calm environment with natural colours, minimising noise to promote focus, modelling purposeful activities, and organising resources accessibly to encourage independent use.

Philosophy for Children

At nursery, we engage children in philosophical discussions, fostering critical thinking and empathy from a young age. These open-ended conversations, sparked by objects or questions during free moments, help develop reasoning skills. Encouraging diverse perspectives, you can turn everyday delays into opportunities for valuable reflection and discussion.

We don’t all see the world in the same way

Creativity is a powerful part of childhood development. Nurturing imagination helps children focus, explore, and solve problems. Valuing their ideas and the creative process over the final product builds confidence and resilience, encouraging emotional grounding and the ability to share with others. Discover practical tips to foster creativity at home through art, mark making, and music.

Dominic has been really comfortable at nursery from day one and clearly enjoys and is stimulated by all the activities. My husband and I are always impressed by the range and variety of activities. Highlights have been body painting, making play dough and the day the ice cream van came to visit!
