Find your child's studio

Each of our six childcare studios is designed around the developmental stage of the children inside it, which influence the pace, the materials, and the kinds of experiences on offer.

As children grow, they move through the studios, carrying relationships and learning with them. But the following age ranges are a guide, not a deadline. Every child moves through our studios at their own pace, and transitions are planned thoughtfully and always in close conversation with families.

We observe, document and reflect to ensure our early education programs remain responsive and intentional. Our curriculum aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and is shaped by the children in front of us.

Age Groups

Nursery 1

6 weeks – 18 months

We follow each infant’s individual rhythm for nourishment, rest and wakeful moments, valuing unhurried, respectful care with an educator who builds a genuine relationship and deep understanding of your child.

  • Sensory play with water, light, natural textures and sound

  • Supported movement on natural surfaces, allowing infants to develop at their own pace with trust and confidence

  • Daily gentle outdoor time: fresh air, birdsong, grass underfoot

Nursery 2

1 year – 30 months

Building predictability within our day supports this age group in feeling anchored in safety and security, while plenty of physical freedom and sensory-rich, hands-on materials give them room to investigate.

  • Loose parts play (stacking, sorting, filling, pouring)

  • Paint, clay, water, mud play, hands-on exploration and embodied learning in action

  • Songs, stories and back-and-forth conversations with educators

Toddler 1

18 months – 2.5 years

Our educators support children to name and move through feelings, while making sure there's plenty children can do, choose and decide for themselves.

  • Role play and dramatic play with real-world props

  • Collaborative building (cardboard, blocks, found materials)

  • Planting, watering and simple gardening alongside educators

Toddler 2

2 – 3 years

Experiences are built around children's own investigations, following the thread of what they're actually curious about rather than a predetermined plan.

  • Inquiry provocations (collections, magnifying, simple experiments)

  • Collaborative construction that builds across days, not just one session

  • Imaginative play with open-ended, flexible materials

Preschool 1

3 years – 4 years

Educators build on children's own questions to drive learning that develops real confidence, resilience and identity, not just a checklist of school-readiness skills.

  • Long-form inquiry projects revisited across days and weeks

  • Literacy and numeracy through real, meaningful contexts

  • Collaborative problem solving, negotiation and shared decision making

Preschool 2

4 – 5 years

Our preschool program delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher. It's inquiry-led and play-based, because children who love learning arrive at school ready for it.

  • Deep inquiry projects

  • Literacy and numeracy woven through play and real investigation

  • Thoughtful, supported transition-to-school preparation
