At Wildflowers Kindergarten, we protect and nurture young children’s innate curiosity and sense of wonder in a calm and joyful environment.
With us, children have space to move freely, immerse themselves in imaginative play and explore the world around them in the beautiful Hampshire countryside.
Our Education
At the core of our educational approach is fostering attitudes of active learning and encouraging children to be open and engaged.
By ensuring that the children feel safe and by conveying trust in their capabilities, we support them to challenge themselves and to develop resourcefulness, perseverance and resilience.
Within Wildflowers’ culture of care, the children learn about respect and responsibility towards others, themselves and their environment.
Our Curriculum
When children show interest and ability, we playfully engage them in personalised learning games from our comprehensive and innovative curriculum that covers the Early Years Foundation Stage and parts of Year 1.
We have extensive experience in teaching Reception-aged children. By remaining in a familiar environment and having more time to play in nature, those who stay with us have a greater opportunity to grow in confidence before starting school.
Our Day
Our day starts with a conversation and seasonal rhyme before walking to woods or parkland where the children run and climb, observe changes in the landscape, make discoveries and play with what they find. Mid-morning the group gathers to eat fruit and home-baked bread whilst creating a story together.
On returning to our converted barn, the children have a cosy rest and share a warm healthy meal. In the afternoon, they express their creativity and practise skills using carefully chosen resources.
The consistency of the Wildflowers day provides the children with security and a shared sense of ownership over our time together, which supports them in contributing to the well-being of the group.
We have been rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in the last three inspections.
