Our aim is to provide a holistic, friendly environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. We are an Outdoor Nursery and Forest School, nestled in the heart of nature, with a cosy indoor space for those days when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Testimonials

At Elves & Fairies Woodland Nursery, we are proud of the relationships we have with our parents and guardians. We believe that by working together, we can provide the best possible start in life for our children. Here's what some of our parents and guardians have to say about us:

"Jenna has really blossomed at Elves and Fairies, and I believe this is due to the safe and caring environment that this exceptional Kindergarten provides. It offers the children with opportunities to develop through play and use their imagination, whilst also gaining an understanding of nature and the outdoors, while following the Early years Curriculum."

"We have been thrilled with this nursery and would recommend it without hesitation. Both of our boys have enjoyed Elves and Fairies. The learning journals are extremely detailed. The staff are so skilled at identifying learning opportunities in the natural environment and know how to extend the activity in a way that supports learning and maintains the spontaneity of the moment."

"My daughter and I have been attending the toddler group at Elves and Fairies forest school for almost a year. I really like the balance of free play, circle time, group snack and activities. I like how the activities utilise natural materials we have found in the site and reflect on the changing seasons. The other aspect which I really value is how the toddler group and forest school come together for events. This makes us feel part of a wider community and I have been really impressed at how the other members of staff have interacted with my daughter."
