Welcome to the Nest

Finding the right childcare is about finding peace of mind.   The Nest is a warm,inspiring and homely place where every child feels safe enough to be bold, loved enough to be curious and supported enough to fly. We have highly experienced and qualified staff who ensure every child is cherished and supported on their journey of exploring, growing and learning. Please contact us and see for yourself.

Rooted in safety

A strong Nest begins with a sturdy foundation’ Before a child can learn, they must feel safe. For our youngest babies and children this means consistent caregivers and a rhythmic routine. For our older children it means an environment where they feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, develop resilience and express their emotions.

Gentle Nurture

The Nest has a warm, ‘;home- from-home’ atmosphere. We prioritise kindness, physical comfort and emotional intelligence. We treat every child as an individual and ensure that they have the attention and love to thrive.

Curious Exploration

We nurture children’s natural curiosity and love of learning.We encourage messy play, outdoor discovery and “why”questions. We provide the tools, support and space for children to investigate the world around them and explore new things.
