Ages two to six

Somewhere to be small in.

A short walk, a big garden, and days built around what children actually do.

Children playing together in the nursery garden

Ages two to six

Three rooms, small groups, moving up together.

Three rooms, by age.

Small groups that move up together, so nobody starts a year on their own.

Acorns, two to three

Settling in gently, with one key person who stays the whole year.

Saplings

Three to four. Outside every morning, whatever the weather.

Oaks

Four to six. Getting ready for school without rushing it.

A morning session in one of the classrooms

One adult to every five children, all day, every day.

Not an average across the week. The ratio in each room, at every hour.

From the gate at eight to home at four.

Outside every morning, lunch together, and a quiet hour that is genuinely quiet.

One adult to every five children.

Qualified staff who stay, so your child sees the same faces all year.
