NATURE'S WAY
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and our deep connection with nature, The Wondergarden is a place where children are encouraged to be curious, creative and completely themselves.
Set within acres of beautiful Northamptonshire woodland in the village of Bulwick, our nursery offers children something truly special. From exploring the forest and getting muddy, to following their own interests, building friendships and discovering how the world around them works, every day is an opportunity to learn through real experiences.
We’ve created a unique environment where children have the freedom to explore, take risks, ask questions and develop the confidence and independence they need for whatever comes next.
We believe childhood should be full of wonder. Our passionate and experienced educators get to know every child as an individual, nurturing their interests, celebrating their achievements and helping them grow into confident, capable and kind little people.
Come and feel it for yourself...
Expert Education
Our approach combines the best practices of Reggio Emilia and Montessori to create a rich and dynamic learning environment. We utilise a learner centred process where we facilitate self guided learning and development for each child, so they learn whilst having fun with their friends.
Unique Outdoor Learning
Outdoor learning, truly unique approach to preschool education. Our magical forest allows children to connect with nature, engage in physical activities, and develop an appreciation for the natural world
Passionate Educators
Our expert educators are committed to nurturing the whole child and preparing them for a lifetime of success in both school and life. Teachers guide and facilitate learning based on individual needs. Children can choose activities from various learning areas such as language, maths, sensorial and practical life.
Empowering Young Lives
We empower children to explore, discover, and flourish as confident, independent, and curious learners. Our curriculum is designed to help children build resilience and confidence through exploring challenges through play.
Reflection Time
Throughout the day, teachers document children's activities and engage in reflective discussions to deepen understanding and guide future learning experiences. The guiding principles of forest school are for adults to be reflective in order to provide children with continuous experiences and opportunities to meet their developmental needs.
Parental Participation
We encourage parents to actively participate in their child's educational journey through regular communication, involvement in projects, and sharing their unique family experiences and cultures. Our nursery supports adult and child mental well being through identifying problems which may arise and working through solutions together.
A Pathway To Growth
We encourage the forest school approach to learning that can be applied at home and throughout children's early years and education.
