“We must help them to grow at their own pace by nurturing their own talents and helping them to develop their own individual personalities”
Charlotte Mason, Educationalist

We are still fully open at this time of the Covid 19 pandemic. We have introduced strict hygiene measures and extra protective measures such as main door drop offs and pick ups and the wearing of masks at the door. We are aiming to keep things as normal as possible for the children in our care.

Welcome to The Ark

Nursery care for  3 months-5 years

  • Creating varied, fun learning
  • Spending lots of time outdoors
  • Capturing magic moments on the Eylog Journal
  • Providing year-round and term-time care
'My little boy leaves The Ark with a big smile every time. He can't wait to tell me all that he has done'

Outdoor Play

Teaching in the Ark does not take the form of instruction. Rather, the children are presented with a range of activities from which they can make their own choices.

A Caring, Experienced Team

We have a range of qualified staff working in
our teams from level 2,
Foundation Degree to Level 5 and BA (Hons) Level 6. We all work together to give your children the best learning environment. 
We observe and record children's development using an online assessment called EYLOG. This is a safe and secure method to show you your child’s learning journey.

Our Aims

​We aim to offer high standards of education, stimulation and fun within a structured environment. Our ideas are very neatly summed up in the words of educationalist, Charlotte Mason:
“We must help them to grow at their own pace by nurturing their own talents and helping them to develop their own individual personalities”

Baby Room & Outdoor Area

The Willow Room at Princess Avenue provides a welcoming, homely environment for babies. Our experienced team make this a wonderful world for our youngest to learn, sleep and smile.
We have access to a separate play area for the babies to enjoy whilst being able to see the older children.
