Learning & Development

What can your child expect?

We want to meet your child’s needs at their own pace as they become more at ease with self-driven learning and exploration through play. We nurture children to enable them to become confident, resilient and joyful learners.

Campfires

Campfires at both nurseries

Outdoor Space

Space to run, play and learn about the great outdoors.

Trees

We have trees and often plant more trees.

Wildlife

We have the niches that allow a wide range of fauna to thrive.

Big Play Equipment

So children can challenge themselves to carry heavy objects, sometime so heavy they need a team to move them.

Plants

We have herbs and plants to appeal to all the senses

Staff

More staff than Ofsted specify, often twice as many.

Farm time

Our local farmer introduces our children to friendly animals such as hand-reared lambs & chickens.

Outdoor Play

Children who experience the natural world every day, in every season know it and will care for it more.

These show only a snapshot of what we offer, to find out more contact us and come and see for yourself.

The Beach Babies way

What is a schema?

I can’t praise Beach Babies enough. My eldest attended for 5 months and my younger daughter has just moved up to the Pre- school room from the Toddler room. She has progressed so much and adores her days at Nursery and the staff there. I love all the provision in place at Beach Babies, especially the outdoor provision and can see my daughter progress week on week.
