Nurturing Curiosity, Sparking Imagination, Empowering Little Minds
A Vision of Curiosity and Imagination
The Nest Nurseries are a family of accredited Curiosity Approach nurseries in Birmingham, England. Founded by experienced educators Lyndsey and Christian Hellyn in 2009, we strive to nurture young minds by fostering a love of exploration, discovery, and imagination.
Nurturing Curiosity Through the Curiosity Approach
