our space

The Hove Park site is a purposefully small and bespoke setting that offers an excellent level of childcare. We are the closest Nursery to Hove Park and within walking distance to our Forest School site. Inspired by Nordic approaches to education, We believe that the very best development cannot flourish without happiness – from the inside and out.

Our indoor environment has been designed with the understanding that children’s sensitivity needs simplicity and calm to flourish. Beautiful materials, broad resource choices and open ended design will allow creativity and individualism to thrive. Take a sneaky peek of the spaces our children are proud to play and learn in …

Out

Nature strengthens the capacity for wonder and our wonderful world provides ample opportunities for curiosity and creativity to thrive. Little hands love to explore, little eyes love to discover and little hearts love to connect with the plants that are discoverable in the near locality. Our curriculum is structured to allow for outdoor learning everyday – as much of the day as possible.

Forest School, from fully trained practitioners (Sussex Wildlife Trust), and Outdoor Activities are all covered within our all – inclusive fees. Outdoor learning should never be a bolt – on in any sense; it is a pillar of healthy development and, most importantly, it is a happy and much-loved part of childhood freedom and exploration. We recruit staff who are ‘doers’ and want to rejoice in planning and implementing outdoor experiences. This is the first ‘cog’ in our Outdoor Learning machine; staff who ‘get it’! You may have spotted us in one of or two Forest School locations, supported and led by WYLD experiences.

We have 2 rooms for 2023

In June 2023 Miss Madelaine set to work (with many happy helping hands) at turning our site into a bespoke and high-quality Nursery setting befitting of our first very special guests.

The Kinder

A 65sqm former ‘Gospel Hall’, which will now become home to our 2-5 year olds.

The Cabin

A cosy and inviting, Scandinavian – style log cabin where 9 month – 2 year olds can find their feet, their noses, their wiggly fingers and their voices!
