Company

Wood St Nursery is a warm and loving place. We believe in being children’s advocates and allies on their journey to growing strong, communicating effectively, and becoming capable and resilient. We believe that nurturing children means building good relationships with their families and creating a strong happy staff team. We know that children learn best through warm relationships with skilled practitioners in a rich and exciting play environment. We eschew age inappropriate carpet sessions and instead prefer to learn through love, singing, and playing with mud!

We are strong believers in creating a calm nursery space with a mixture of natural materials and real objects as well as age-appropriate toys; we try to avoid seas of brightly coloured plastic. We apply Elizabeth Jarman’s ‘Communication Friendly Spaces’ theories to ensure the nursery is an effective learning environment that promotes children’s emotional and physical development.
