We enable children to grow up in a natural environment. We nurture them to become confident, to develop their creative thinking and to become independent, curious learners.

Beach Babies opened in 2004 with a vision to provide a nursery that really helped children develop to their full potential. We provide exciting and interesting outdoor areas and have highly qualified staff who really care and believe in the power of excellent early years education.

Nursery Availability

Looking for nursery spaces can be a frustrating challenge, especially when left too late. To make sure you get the space booked that you need, you need to start looking as early as 12 weeks pregnant. Nursery spaces everywhere are very limited and this blog aims to explain why this is and how you can get ahead and get the spaces you need.

Growing up naturally

I’ve spent decades contemplating how to best guide children toward becoming capable, resilient adults. Initially inspired by my own kids, I’ve developed evolving principles seen at Beach Babies. These include using natural materials to engage all senses, allowing child-led exploration, providing some adult guidance to extend learning, offering open-ended resources to foster creativity, maintaining a calm environment with natural colours, minimising noise to promote focus, modelling purposeful activities, and organising resources accessibly to encourage independent use.

Philosophy for Children

At nursery, we engage children in philosophical discussions, fostering critical thinking and empathy from a young age. These open-ended conversations, sparked by objects or questions during free moments, help develop reasoning skills. Encouraging diverse perspectives, you can turn everyday delays into opportunities for valuable reflection and discussion.

I would highly recommend Beachbabies at Wilburton - the biggest compliment I can give is that when I drop him off in the morning I can completely relax and concentrate on my day at work because I know he is happy and well cared for.
