Our unique combination of a home-from-home nursery environment, with outdoor and woodland learning opportunities, helps children at The Burrow learn HOW TO LEARN, so they can go on and benefit from ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that life shows them, WHENEVER and WHEREVER the moment arises!
OUR SESSIONS:
At The Burrow, care and education hold equal importance in the experiences we offer to our children, and child-centred play is key to teaching and learning. We always make certain that our day:
-
helps each child feel that they are a valued member of the nursery community, gaining social skills and developing friendships
-
provides them with exciting opportunities to learn and, just as importantly, help them to value their own learning
-
develops independence and confidence as they grow, taking pride in their achievements
-
ensures the safety of each child and teaches them how to keep themselves safe
-
focuses around children's interests, as well as their developmental needs
-
gives everyone heaps of fun and laughter!

HOW WE TEACH
Children learn best when following their own interests, and good teachers teach through genuine engagement with the children in their care. At The Burrow, everything we do has the children at the heart, with play being the key to unlocking their full potential.
Recognising children as unique, providing them with an exciting, well-resourced environment, and building strong, positive relationships, The Burrow prides itself on helping children learn to be independent and follow their instincts to explore, discover, investigate, problem-solve and question.
With a broad and balanced curriculum, delivered through both small group and free play experiences, children at The Burrow (our Bunnies!) are guided by inspirational teachers and also encouraged to lead their own learning. Our Bunnies go on an exciting journey with us, starting as new learners and leaving as confident, independent children, ready for their next step. Local schools regularly tell us that our Bunnies are exceptionally well prepared for school, something we are extremely proud of.
The ethos and practice of The Burrow reflects the key principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (DfE 2023), details of which can be found by CLICKING HERE.
