Toddler Nest Studio
A calm, low-stimulation studio built around movement, first words, and secure attachment to a familiar guide.
About the Toddler Nest Curriculum
Between 12 and 24 months a child moves from crawling to climbing and from single sounds to first sentences. The Nest Studio is designed around that transition: low platforms, safe ramps, and reachable shelves that invite a toddler to test their own balance dozens of times a day. Group sizes stay small so every child keeps the same primary guide throughout the year.
Core Curriculum Pillars
- Gross Motor Paths:Ramps, tunnels, and soft climbing frames for daily balance work.
- Sensory Bins:Rotating natural materials — water, grain, wood, fabric, and leaves.
- First Words:Naming rituals, picture books, and slow repeated song circles.
How We Document Growth
Educators observe toddlers during real play, meals, movement, and rest rather than through testing. Those observations shape which materials appear on the shelves the following week.
- Daily photo and routine updates in the parent app
- Individual learning portfolio with documented milestones
- Quarterly family-development conference
- Shared transition goals before moving into Early Explorers

Frequently Asked Questions
Ratios start at 1:3 in the infant cradle and widen gradually to 1:8 in Kindergarten Prep. Every room keeps a consistent primary educator so your child is known by name, not just supervised.
Most children settle within two to three weeks. We plan a staggered start with you, keep goodbyes short and predictable, and send a photo once your child has re-engaged with the room.
All meals and snacks are cooked fresh on campus each morning. The kitchen is fully nut-free, and we cater for allergies, halal, kosher and vegetarian diets without serving a separate meal at a separate table.
Children go outdoors every day in all but severe weather, with a minimum of 90 minutes in the forest yard. Send waterproofs and boots; we keep spare kit on site for the days you forget.
You'll get daily updates in the parent app covering meals, naps, activities and educator observations, plus a quarterly development conference and a portfolio of your child's work.
Not at all. Children join us at every point in the year, and toilet learning is something we support alongside you rather than a requirement for a place.
