Outdoor learning every day

A nursery that helps children feel settled

Starting nursery is a big step, and we make it feel warm, steady, and reassuring from day one. We welcome children from 20 months up to age 5, with morning, afternoon, and full-day sessions that help you plan around family life. Our play-based learning follows the EYFS framework, giving your child space to explore, build confidence, and enjoy learning without pressure. 

 

Twinkletoes Preschool creates a safe and stimulating setting where your child is known as an individual, not just another name on the register. Our key person approach gives your child one familiar adult for support, encouragement, and emotional security throughout your child's time with us. That kind of consistency matters, because young children learn best when they feel happy, secure, and ready to join in.

Daily life that feels active and connected

Our days are shaped around active play, curiosity, and real experiences that help children make sense of the world around them. A large outdoor learning area gives your child room to move, climb, imagine, and explore in all weather, which is often where confidence really starts to grow. In our preschool, we also head out on weekly local outings, helping your child practise listening, turn-taking, and independence beyond the nursery gate. 

 

You can keep up with the day through our Baby's Days system, where we share activities, photos, and progress in real time. Twinkletoes Preschool also welcomes children with SEN through our inclusive programme that values different needs and supports development with care. Get in touch for more information.

I cannot speak highly enough of Twinkletoes. They have been absolutely fantastic with my children.

My daughter, who is non-verbal, autistic, and has a learning disability, attended here and the support, patience, and genuine care she received was incredible. The staff truly took the time to understand her needs and created a safe, nurturing environment where she could thrive.

Now my 2-year-old son is attending, and they’ve been just as brilliant with him. He’s settled in so well, and it’s clear how much the team care about each and every child. The communication with parents is excellent, and the whole atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and inclusive.

I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful preschool — it’s no exaggeration that they have transformed our life.
