OUR VISION AND ETHOS

We believe learning should be purposeful, experiential, and filled with awe and wonder. Our approach fosters curiosity, discovery, and meaningful experiences that inspire a lifelong love of learning. It is rooted in the latest educational and pedagogical research, ensuring a dynamic environment where both children and staff can thrive.
Community is at the heart of Clowns. We are a supportive team where every member of staff feels truly valued. We celebrate staff’s individual passions and cultural capital; if you love yoga, why not start a yoga club?
The Head knows every child and staff member personally, and leads with an open-door policy, believing in collaboration over hierarchy, and guiding the nursery with genuine care and dedication. The Head has high expectations, ensuring a safe, inspiring, and challenging environment for children to reach their potential.
If you are looking for a teacher-led, reputable independent nursery which champions professional development, educational excellence, and fun, we would love to hear from you.
