Sensory Pod

Tucked away in our garden is our enchanting, Hobbit-like sensory pod — a cosy little hideaway where children can explore, play, and discover their senses in a calm and magical environment. Step inside, and you’ll find a treasure trove of sensory delights: gentle lights, soothing sounds, soft textures, mood bears, and a variety of fidget toys, all carefully chosen to help children regulate their emotions and engage their senses.

The pod is a place of wonder and calm, perfect for quiet individual exploration or for keyworker group time, where children can connect, share, and learn together. It encourages curiosity, creativity, and self-awareness, giving every child a safe and inviting space to discover what helps them feel happy, calm, and focused.

Whether a child wants to sit quietly and watch the lights twinkle, explore the different textures, or interact with friends and keyworkers, the sensory pod is always ready to spark imagination, nurture wellbeing, and create those small but magical moments of calm in their day. It’s truly a special part of our nursery, bringing a little magic into everyday learning.

Woodland area

Step into our woodland area, a little corner of adventure tucked away in our garden, where every child can connect with nature, explore, and let their imagination run wild. Among the trees and leafy nooks, children can cook up adventures in the mud kitchen, climb aboard the reading throne for a story, or swing high on the little rope swing that adds a dash of thrill to the day.

The woodland is more than just a play space — it’s an outdoor classroom where children can learn through hands-on experiences, develop their physical skills, and nurture creativity. From sensory play with natural materials to imaginative games and quiet moments of reflection, there’s something for everyone.

Whether children are working together to create mud pies, sharing a favourite book on the throne, or simply exploring the sights, sounds, and textures of nature, the woodland area encourages teamwork, confidence, and a love of the natural world. It’s a magical place where learning feels like an adventure, and every day brings a new story to tell.
