Our Services
We offer high-quality childcare services at our nursery in Farrington Gurney and our dedicated baby and toddler suite at Elm Hayes Surgery in Paulton. Our services are designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports the development of our children's physical, emotional, and cognitive skills.
Our nursery is designed to be a place where children can be themselves, make new friends, and learn and grow together. We believe that play is a powerful tool for learning and development, and we use it to stimulate our children's imagination and creativity. Our experienced and qualified staff work closely with parents to tailor our services to meet the individual needs of every child.
Our Pedagogy
Our pedagogy is based on a relational and ethical stance that recognizes the importance of trusting relationships, nurturing self-worth, and promoting resilience and independence. We believe that effective learning stems from these relationships and that we all play a part in guiding, supporting, and loving each other and the world around us.

We believe that by providing a supportive and nurturing environment, we can help our children develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive in life.
