Sowing & Growing Nursery and Preschool

20/06/2025

Our Preschoolers at Sowing and Growing Nursery had an absolutely brilliant time today on their first gardening session at Gothic Lodge! They were buzzing with excitement getting stuck into planting and tidying up with the residents. Not only is it wonderful for children to connect with nature, but the interaction with the elderly residents offers invaluable learning experiences and builds beautiful bonds. We’re so proud of them, and this will be a regular, enriching experience for everyone involved. Look out for more updates from their regular gardening visits! 🧤🌸

🐍🐌🐢🦎 Our Wild Animals Month was a ROARING success! We had some amazing visitors stop by the nursery, including a slinky snake, curious African snails, a chilled-out turtle, a friendly gecko, and the fluffiest chinchilla you’ve ever seen! The children and staff had a blast learning about these incredible creatures.
