Nurturing young minds, shaping the future, one story at a time
Our Story
Pooh Corner Day Nursery and Preschool is a pioneering childcare and educational institution founded in 1990 by Mary Regan and Sarah Bradley, who share a profound passion for fostering the growth and development of young children. Our nursery is situated in a spacious Victorian house, where we welcome the warmth and light of day to create a homely and relaxed environment for our little ones. Our outdoor play area is designed to encourage physical activity and exploration, weaving together all the learning opportunities found indoors.
Early Years Education
At Pooh Corner, we believe that every child is unique and sees the world through their own unique lens. We understand that children develop at their own pace, and we nurture this growth through a balance of child-initiated play and adult-suggested activities. Our highly qualified Early Years Teachers and Practitioners are dedicated to providing a high standard of care, learning opportunities, and education in a secure and homely environment. We recognize the importance of multiculturalism and celebrate the racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds of our children. Our inclusive environment ensures that all children, regardless of their abilities or developmental stage, are offered quality play opportunities.
Our Approach
Our educational approach is rooted in the High Scope method, which emphasizes active participatory learning. We stimulate children through meaningful play experiences and activities, fostering their natural curiosity and imagination. We believe in encouraging independence and self-esteem in our children, while providing a personal and physical care that is tailored to each individual's needs. Our focus is on nurturing a sense of discovery and wonder, as children explore their world and develop their own unique identity.
