About Us:

Handkerchief Nursery is a vibrant and nature-focused nursery that offers an exciting outdoor forest school experience. Our nursery is home to a variety of animals, and we engage in outdoor activities such as fire-making and nature exploration. We believe in providing stimulating and purposeful learning opportunities for all our children, inviting parents to join in activities and supporting our community. Additionally, all of our children participate in Jo Jingles every week, where they thrive and engage with the music in a fun and stimulating way.

Children's earliest years are fundamental to shape their lifelong outcomes; therefore, we are committed to fostering nurturing environments with high quality teams to deliver exceptional care and education for all our teams and their families.
