Abberley House is a great outdoor nursery. We use the outdoor environment and the changes in the weather and seasons as learning tools. By giving children space to explore, to be creative, be loud, to be bold, take a risk and to try something new with the expertise of knowledgeable and caring team leaders to guide and support them, children develop an inner sense of pride and achievement.

Both the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework and the Forest School ethos are what makes up our curriculum. This is delivered through both child initiated and adult led activities. Staff support children's learning by, following children's own interests, resourcing the environment, being positive role models and expanding on children's knowledge and vocabulary. Assessment is carried out using our own extensive knowledge along with the Early Years Outcomes. This then helps us to plan for the next steps in learning and to put additional support in place when/wherever possible. Abberley House is great place to work, have fun and discover the great outdoors with children.
