The one with all the nature

Bright and airy indoor environments and a fully enclosed outdoor learning playground and classroom. 

Wildernest Hove is located just 5 minutes from Hove station on foot. 

Our provision for babies and toddlers under 30 months is located within our nursery building, where the children have access to our carefully prepared environments. 

All children spend plenty of time in our outdoor learning environment. Our outdoor environment has been carefully planned and divided to offer various learning opportunities. Children can explore our nature trail, plant and tend to fruit and vegetables in our allotment, sculpt and build in the sandpits, bounce on the trampolines, develop their physical skills in our playground, and engaged in more focused and group activities under our learning hut.

Time to get to know you

Individual and Adaptable

Routine is central to the development of young children and each of our age groups follows its own fun and educational timetable. But we work hard to ensure that we are able to follow each child's individual needs too. Since every child and family is different we never follow a 'one method fits all' approach. Instead, we spend time with you to find out your child's own personal needs. As children grow, we adapt to their needs. Our constant reflection, evaluation, and adaptations, mean that the environment is always tailored to meet the children's needs.
