Why Choose Us
A natural childhood
Children learn best when they have the freedom to explore, imagine, create and discover. Our rural surroundings become an extension of the classroom, providing countless opportunities for children to connect with nature and develop confidence through real experiences.
Whether they are following tractor tracks across neighbouring fields, planting seeds in the garden, caring for nursery pets, visiting local sheep or taking part in forest school inspired activities, children are encouraged to be curious, adventurous and active participants in their own learning.
Close-knit community
With just 57 places, Swingfield House has a particularly close-knit feel.
Our dedicated key persons take time to build strong, trusting relationships with children and their families, ensuring every child is known, understood and supported as an individual.
Children build lasting relationships with staff and friendships across age groups, helping them develop confidence, empathy and a strong sense of belonging.
Many of our families stay with us for years and describe Swingfield as an extension of their family.
Outstanding care and education
We are proud to have achieved two consecutive Outstanding Ofsted inspections, the latest in 2022.
Our approach combines warm, nurturing relationships with ambitious early years education. Children are supported to explore their interests, develop independence and build the confidence and skills that will support them through the early years and beyond.
Children also benefit from a qualified early years teacher and French lessons at no extra cost, adding further depth to their learning and giving them opportunities to develop new skills and curiosity.
Support for families
Strong relationships with families are an important part of life at Swingfield House. Regular coffee meetings and playdates give families opportunities to connect with one another and with the team, and feel a part of the nursery community.
What does Ofsted say?
“The manager and staff work extremely well with parents, it is a real strength of the setting… Parents share how they feel highly involved in their children’s nursery and their views and opinions are truly valued by the staff team.”
What do families say?
A word from our Manager, Charlotte
“I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of exceptional early years practice. Building meaningful partnerships with parents is something I value greatly, and I take pride in working collaboratively with families to support each child’s individual learning journey.
I am a strong advocate of ‘professional love’, recognising the importance of warmth, care, respect and genuine connection in helping children feel safe, secure and valued.
At Kid Ease Swingfield House, our beautiful semi-rural setting provides the perfect backdrop for children to learn through exploration, curiosity and discovery. Together with our experienced team, we are committed to reclaiming childhood by providing rich, child-led experiences that encourage independence, resilience, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
I feel privileged to lead such a dedicated and passionate team and to play a part in the early years of so many children’s lives. Seeing children grow in confidence, develop their unique strengths and leave us ready for their next adventure is what inspires me every day.”
