Nature Time Childcare

At Nature Time Childcare, our ethos is one inspired by Reggio Emilia. We believe that children's learning is made up equally of 3 components: the child, the parents, and the practitioners. We put a lot of emphasis in our adaptable and ever evolving childcare environment, understanding that 'one size does not fit all'. Therefore, we embrace and entwine several approaches to early education into our practice. Such as forest school, curiosity, and natural learning. We believe in the importance of the settings' community and parent/carer relationships. Each member of staff has a strong passion for child development. As a team we continually embark on a journey alongside our children to adapt the environment, spark children's curiosity, discover new interests, and set new challenges to ensure that every child can reach their potential.
