🌿 A real garden. A real habitat. Learning through every season.
The transformation at Abergavenny Nursery Too! continues… and our sensory and pollinator garden is really starting to come alive. 🌾🐝
As autumn and winter approach, we’re continuing to adapt and invest in our outdoor environment so it can be explored, discovered and enjoyed all year round.
We want our preschool children getting lost amongst tall grasses, brushing past plants, discovering different textures and scents, watching pollinators, digging in real soil and experiencing first-hand how nature changes through the seasons. 🍂🌱
Our approach supports the National Minimum Standards, but for us it’s about much more than meeting a standard. It’s about having a dedicated preschool environment that gives us the freedom to create spaces around children’s development, curiosity, independence and experiences.
And we’re incredibly lucky to have local people who believe in that vision too. 💚
A huge thank you to Gav and the team at Abergavenny Garden Centre LTD. From our first conversations, Gav completely immersed himself in what we’re trying to achieve. We gave him creative licence, and he’s embraced it, thinking not simply about what to plant, but about what a child will see, touch, smell, discover and experience as they journey through the garden.
Their generosity and community spirit have been incredible. That’s why working with passionate local people matters to us. They don’t just work on the project, they become part of the journey.
With our natural garden, established trees, Forest School, fire circle and now sensory and pollinator areas taking shape, we’re building on the habitat nature has already given us. 🌳🔥🐝
Outdoor learning isn’t seasonal. Neither is childhood.
Here, children don’t just look at nature. They step right into it. 🌿💚
