Hind Leys Pre School and Natural Play Centre is a unique setting, offering babies and young children a nurturing and generative environment to learn and grow. An established Forest School, we specialise in supporting children’s learning through engagement with the natural world. We offer a mindful curriculum with an emphasis on emotional literacy, mindfulness and resilience. Your child’s wellbeing and mental health is paramount to us.
Led by Ruth Sharpe, we have a highly trained and dedicated staff team that flexibly tailor experiences to each child’s interest and needs. This is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. We pride ourselves in ensuring we continually develop our staff team and the setting in order to better support the children who come to us.
