Curriculum & Approach
Treehouse Nursery's curriculum is built around the core EYFS principles of the unique child, positive relationships, enabling environments, and learning and development. Rather than following EYFS in isolation, the nursery blends it with elements of Montessori and Reggio Emilia thinking, giving children the freedom to lead aspects of their own play-based learning journey. The seven areas of learning are woven through daily activities: communication and language, personal, social and emotional development, physical development, literacy, mathematics, expressive arts and design, and understanding of the world. Children are given opportunities to talk with peers and adults, listen to stories, sing, paint, build motor skills, explore numbers and shapes, and learn about their environment through hands-on exploration. Nature and sustainability run through the curriculum as a specific strand, with a gardening programme, community involvement, nature exploration and sustainable practices used to build environmental awareness from an early age. Expressive arts and design sit at the heart of the approach, with music, art, dance and role-play used to help children express their thoughts and feelings.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 1 to 4 years
Treehouse Nursery accepts children from one to four years of age, with places available across N0, N1, N2, N3, N4 and SN stages. Each stage follows the same EYFS-based, play-focused curriculum, with activities and expectations adapted to suit the developmental needs of each age group as children progress through the nursery. Across all stages, staff focus on building independence, from early motor skills and toilet learning through to more structured group activities, numeracy and early literacy as children move towards school readiness.

The setting includes classrooms, sensory outdoor play areas, and shared facilities designed to support both structured learning and free play. Outdoor space is used for sensory exploration, gross motor play and nature-based activities, reflecting the nursery's focus on environmental awareness alongside indoor creative and academic learning. Parents describe the villa environment as spotless, homely and thoughtfully designed, with soft play, a mud kitchen and music and movement space among the facilities used by the children. The nursery's small, family-style setting is intended to help children feel comfortable and secure from their very first day, with staff and management known personally to each family.

Care & Wellbeing
Safety, happiness and development are described by Treehouse Nursery as its highest priorities, with a friendly, caring and inclusive environment underpinning daily routines. Teaching staff work closely with parents to understand each child's individual needs and personal developmental goals. Physical development and independence are built into everyday nursery life, with children supported to gradually manage tasks such as putting on their own shoes, using the toilet, and understanding personal hygiene and healthy nutrition as part of their overall growth. The nursery's close-knit, extended-family approach is intended to support a smooth settling-in process, with staff getting to know each child individually and maintaining an open-door policy so parents can raise questions or concerns at any time.
Daily Schedule
Treehouse Nursery is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 4pm. Within these hours, children move between structured and unstructured learning opportunities that cover the EYFS areas of learning, combining indoor classroom activities with outdoor sensory and physical play. The blended Montessori- and Reggio Emilia-inspired approach means that, alongside planned activities such as circle time, music and creative sessions, children are also given time to lead their own play and exploration during the day.
