Our approach to learning in Nursery

Uncovering the magic of each child

Our Nursery is the important first stage of the Westbourne House journey and provides the foundation for an exceptional educational experience. Each child is nurtured, supported and loved every step of the way. 

We believe a deep connection with the natural world is fundamental to a child's development. Our children flourish in our beautiful green spaces, enjoying countless hours outdoors and regular, enriching visits to our very own woods. Inside, our recently refurbished nursery thoughtfully brings the tranquility of nature indoors, creating a calming environment that supports learning and wellbeing. 

  • We encourage curiosity and exploration, which develops an early keen love of learning.  

  • Our children feel joy as they expand their interests through creative, child-initiated and enquiry-led play.  

  • Our children are empowered to take healthy risks within our safe and supportive environment, which leads to wonder, awe and confidence.
