What makes us special

A few highlights
nursery usp 1
Home-from-home

Our purpose-built log cabin was designed and built in Sweden, and offers a haven of cosiness and warmth inside its wooden walls and ceilings. We are inspired by the Hygge approach, creating stimulating environments that foster children’s development with a sense of security and well-being.

Outdoor learning

Outdoor learning time is prioritised for children of all ages, with several outdoor environments to explore. This includes our nursery garden, the grounds of St. Gilbert’s School, and an external woodland location. Children learn and grow in these environments by immersing themselves in the wonder of nature and activities including den-building, pond-dipping and storytelling around the firepit.

Preparing for school

We’re located next door to St Gilbert’s School, offering children wonderful opportunities to engage in activities to prepare them for school such as PE, nativities, and sports days, fostering a smooth transition to primary school.

We're here to help you give your child the best start in life. Our Storal Curriculum guides children to meet their milestones with flexibility to do so at their own pace.

Our activities are varied and purposeful, helping children to develop key skills, relationships with peers and adults, and a sense of security, happiness, and confidence.

Mealtimes at Ark Foundry Road are a time for children to refuel, be sociable, and learn about nutrition.

We pride ourselves on preparing fresh, nutritious and balanced meals on-site using local and seasonal produce. By encouraging children to explore various tastes, smells, and textures of food, we nurture their sense of curiosity and adventure, leading to an appreciation for diverse cuisines and a willingness to try new things.
