About Naturally Curious Day Nursery

At Naturally Curious Day Nursery, we’re more than just a setting, we’re a close-knit team of educators united by a shared belief in the magic of early childhood. We’ve created a home-from-home where curiosity is celebrated and children are encouraged to explore at their own pace.

Our natural, plastic-free environment is thoughtfully curated to offer rich, hands-on learning experiences that reflect our commitment to authenticity, connection, and wonder. Each room is filled with open-ended resources that invite children to engage deeply with their world, and our team is always right there with them, sparking conversation, co-learning, and joy.

We continually invest in our team through in-house coaching, external training, and continuous professional development via NoodleNow. Whether it’s First Aid or Forest School, safeguarding or sensory play, we provide the tools and the time for our team to flourish.

Our Mission, Vision, and Values

At Naturally Curious, our values aren’t just something we talk about, they’re lived out in every interaction, every setup, and every shared story.

Curiosity – We believe that curiosity is the foundation of lifelong learning. We create opportunities every day for children (and adults!) to wonder, question, and explore.

Connection – Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We nurture strong, authentic bonds with children, families, and each other.

Care – We care deeply about the children, the environment, and our team. Our setting is built around compassion, respect, and emotional safety.

Creativity – We celebrate creativity in all its forms, from art and movement to problem-solving and play.

Community – Whether we’re welcoming a new family or helping a teammate grow, we’re always here for one another.


If these values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.
