Wildlings offers high quality childcare and education for children aged 2-5 in an environment rich in awe and wonder. We are unique in the local area, offering places in both our light and bright hall setting, and in our beautiful, ancient woodland setting. We have a strong team of dedicated, knowledgeable early years educators and teachers, who really care about children and believe in our unique ethos. We keep numbers of children low and have higher than required staff to child ratio, as a consequence our highly qualified and experienced team are able to effectively get to know, observe and assess every child. They are always on hand to enhance provision and extend children's learning and thinking, whilst giving children the freedom to manage their own challenges and build on what they already know.
Carer and child group for 0-4 year olds.
We are a group for children from birth to school age who, together with their parent or carer, can begin the process of socialising and learning as they play in a safe and welcoming environment.
