Once Upon a Time, we integrated Wildlife & their habitats to one of the most refreshing Theorist approaches to Learning...
Inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner & his approach to Teaching, Learning & Development, both of our children’s rooms are adapted visually to create a beautiful woodland-inspired habitat for extending learning through creativity & the senses, promoting an abundance of messy play. With dedicated areas of learning depicted, with British habitat theming throughout & a sweeping vision of the rainbow from our Bluebell Woodland to our Enchanted Garden. We have the whole spectrum of colours that appeals to different emotions to suit everybody that visits The Fairytale Forest..
Fairytale Forest Day Nursery is Located in Bury, a quaint countryside West Sussex village between Pulborough and Arundel. We are just off the A29 serving great links to Chichester, Littlehampton, Storrington and surrounding areas. The building itself is a converted former Farm Shop, and we are truly fortunate to benefit from such a vast and beautiful outdoor area for children to play in and explore!
