Where every child is celebrated, nurtured, and inspired.
Founded on the belief that early childhood is sacred, Bramblewood Day Nursery pairs world-class EYFS early education with the grounding benefits of nature-led play.
Built around childhood, not convenience
Bramblewood was created as an antidote to institutional childcare. We envisioned a warm, light-filled sanctuary where children are surrounded by natural wood, living botanical elements, and educators who genuinely treasure each child’s unique personality.
Our woodland facilities and glass-fronted garden studios offer children unbroken access to fresh air, seasonal rhythms, and rich sensory materials that spark genuine lifelong curiosity.
Our Four Guiding Principles
-
1
Secure Attachment First
Children learn best when they feel emotionally safe, seen, and unconditionally supported.
-
2
Nature as the Third Teacher
The outdoor environment stimulates problem solving, sensory regulation, and motor mastery.
-
3
Respectful Pace of Childhood
We never rush developmental leaps. Every child is guided at their personal tempo.
-
4
Close Family Partnership
Transparent, daily photo updates, detailed handovers, and collaborative milestones.
Freshly prepared meals that fuel active minds and bodies
Good nutrition is at the heart of our nursery life. Our full-time chef prepares hot, balanced meals daily using organic produce and whole ingredients.
Scratch Cooked Daily
No pre-packaged or ultra-processed meals. From slow-simmered vegetable ragus to homemade wholemeal breads, everything is freshly crafted on-site.
100% Allergy Managed
We operate a strict allergen-safe protocol. Tailored menus are created for children with dairy, egg, gluten, or specific dietary requirements.
Social & Mindful Dining
Children dine family-style with key workers, practicing pouring water, passing bowls, and discovering new textures with joy and excitement.
Everything you need to know about joining Bramblewood
We provide complimentary settling-in sessions spread over two weeks prior to your child’s official start date. You will spend time together with their key worker, gradually building up to independent half-day and full-day sessions to ensure your child feels confident and happy.
Yes! We accept the 15 and 30 hours funded childcare for eligible 9-month-old, 2-year-old, and 3–4-year-old children across all sessions, as well as the Tax-Free Childcare scheme.
We provide eco-friendly nappies, wipes, all meals, and formula milk. Parents only need to bring a pair of wellies for the Forest Garden, a warm puddle suit, 2–3 spare changes of comfortable clothes, and any beloved comforter or sleep sleeping bag.
All room leaders hold Level 3, Level 5, or Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS). 100% of our team are fully Paediatric First Aid certified and undergo enhanced DBS background checks, safeguarding training, and food hygiene qualifications.
We use a secure digital parent portal where you receive real-time notifications about meals eaten, sleep duration, nappy changes, and joyful photo stories documenting their learning moments and milestones.
