Located at The Green Cave Day Nursery is carefully developed environment, which nurtures each child in the transition from home to school life.
The early years curriculum is broken down into seven areas of learning in which the staff practice a mix of Montessori, Forest school and traditional nursery methods to fulfil each individual child’s needs.
Our Montessori and Forest School ethos both aim for freedom of movement and freedom of choice. They are holistic philosophies to promote resilient, confident, independent and creative minds.
At The Green Cave Day Nursery we are passionate about creating a challenging learning experience in a nurturing and safe environment in which children develop on an individual basis guided from within; by their natural curiosity and by the careful guidance of our experienced practitioners. We see the early years as a preparation for life and a foundation for everything which follows.
We care about the environment and the impact we have on it for our children. We teach them to love and protect the environment and we do everything we can to give them a healthy start in life. Cleaning products are natural and eco-friendly. Most of our toys and furniture in the nursery are made from wood, creating a relaxing and nurturing environment in which children can learn and develop.
Choosing the right nursery for your child is one of the most important and difficult decisions that you will ever have to make.
We hope that the information on our website will give you an insight into what makes us different from other childcare providers.
