Greensprouts

Surrounded by nature.

Laurel Farm Kindergarten would love to invite you into our community, with spaces available in our Greensprouts Parent and Child group on Friday mornings, 9.30-12, during term time. 

Parent and child groups are an important part of Steiner Education, recognising the importance of slowing down, free movement and play, crafts, storytelling and the coming together as a group to provide nourishing support to parents. Many of our families have formed deep and supportive friendships after meeting like-minded families at Greensprouts. 

Our sessions  will begin indoors, in our kindergarten classroom. Here we can get cosy in our slippers to enjoy a craft and an organic snack for your children made by the lovely Emma. We will then add our outdoor layers and wellies to take a walk up to the Magic Glade, ensuring to stop and feed our chickens and wave hello to the ducks and the sheep on the way. At the Magic Glade, we can come together to enjoy circle time and a wonderful puppet story, before singing goodbye. We can already feel the magic. 

The session at Greensprouts are run by Emma McGuinness. They cost £12 per session when drop in or £10 per session when booked in a half term block. It is £3 extra per session for any siblings who are walking. 

Please e-mail admin@laurelfarmkindergarten.org to book. 

What shall I bring?

  • Suitable, weather appropriate outdoor clothing like waterproofs

  • Long trousers, long sleeved tops and sturdy shoes

  • Slippers, if desired, for inside

  • Sling or suitable off road buggy if required to help get up the hill

The wonder of learning through nature.

We believe that the closer to nature, the happier the children will be. Free to explore natures riches, the children’ senses are heightened, which enhances their creative and imaginative play.

We know the benefits of learning in the natural environment and that children need to play, to experience space and movement and sensory stimulation for healthy development.
