From the Poppies Nursery
Greetings from Poppies!
We offer a joyful, engaging, secure nursery for kids ages 2 to 5 at both Poppies and Poppyfields, as well as an after-school programme for kids ages 2 to 7 (only at Poppyfields), and vacation programming, so they can reach their full potential.
At the core of Poppies is our belief that children grow and thrive in the natural world through unstructured play, with the help of caring adults who have a thorough understanding of their needs.
We enhance the development and education of children by involving families in Poppies life, building on what each child already knows/is able to do, with partnership communication key within this.
Children then learn that other adults can be a source of knowledge and companionship as well as how to appreciate and involve families in group activities.
I am very proud to lead and be part of such a dedicated team of professionals who have the well-being, care and education of children at the heart of their practice and we look forward to welcoming you to our group.
