Why Choose Us
Adventure in nature
At the centre of nursery life is a belief that childhood should be full of adventure, curiosity and connection with the natural world.
Our huge garden is used every day, giving children the freedom to explore, investigate and learn through first-hand experiences.
Whether they are developing physical skills, experimenting with mud and water or simply following their curiosity, children have space to be active and see what they are capable of.
What does Ofsted say?
“Children love spending time in the nursery gardens and have many opportunities to explore the natural world around them.”
Forest School is one of the things that makes Triangles unique.
Led by our trained Forest School practitioner, Chris, we aim to ensure every preschool child has regular opportunities to take part in Forest School experiences as part of their nursery week. We include these sessions at no additional cost because we believe outdoor learning, challenge and exploration should be available to every child.
Forest School is about far more than spending time outdoors. Children learn to assess risk, solve problems, work together, persevere through challenges and build confidence in their own abilities. Whether they are building shelters, creating with natural materials, exploring habitats, using tools with adult support or investigating the world around them, children are encouraged to become capable, resilient and independent learners.
Warm, trusted relationships
One of the greatest strengths of Triangles is its friendly and experienced team.
Many of our practitioners have been part of the nursery for years, creating the consistency and familiarity that help children feel safe, secure and confident.
Through our strong key person approach, children build trusting relationships with adults who know them well and work closely with families to support their development. Our team takes the time to understand each child’s strengths and interests, tailoring learning experiences to their needs and giving them the confidence to explore the world around them.
Animals as part of nursery life
Children share their days with some very special members of the Triangles community: Paisley, our much-loved Forest School therapy dog, Peter the rabbit and Rocky the tortoise.
Children help look after the animals as part of their normal nursery day, learning to treat living things gently, notice what animals need and take age-appropriate responsibility for their care.
What does Ofsted say?
“Children learn the importance of caring for animals. Children gently nurture the nursery pets and understand when they need time to rest.”
“The much-loved forest school dog […] is appropriately included throughout the day in the children’s games and routines. Children relax when spending time with the nursery dog and they enjoy the therapeutic benefits that brings.”
Designed around every stage of childhood
Triangles is a large, purpose-built nursery operating across six rooms, allowing children to learn and play in environments designed around the needs of their age and stage.
As children grow, the spaces and experiences around them evolve too. Staff think carefully about the skills children need before moving into their next room, helping transitions feel natural and supporting learning to build progressively over time.
What does Ofsted say?
“The curriculum is sequenced well and builds on what children already know.”
“Staff have carefully considered what skills children need to move on to the next room.”
“There is a focus on enhancing children’s exploration and curiosity.”
What do families say?
A word from our Manager, Paul
“I believe that staff are our greatest asset – their care, dedication and passion create the secure nurturing relationships that help children feel confident, valued and ready to thrive.”
