The Reggio Emilia Approach
The Reggio Emilia approach sees your child as capable, curious, and full of potential - and so do we. Rather than directing your child's learning, this philosophy places them at the centre of it, trusting their instincts, following their interests, and giving them the space to lead their own journey of discovery.
At Farndon your child experiences Reggio Emilia in everything they do:
Inspiring, beautifully designed environments where your child can explore, create, and express themselves through drawing, building, role-play, and so much more.
Open-ended materials that encourage your child to think critically, solve problems, and express their creativity without limits.
Meaningful questions and collaborative projects that spark genuine curiosity and deepen your child's understanding of the world.
Self-directed learning where your child's own interests shape what they explore - because the best learning always starts with wonder.
Montessori Principles
Your child is naturally eager to learn - and the Montessori Method is designed to honour exactly that.
Built on the belief that children thrive when given freedom within a thoughtful structure, this approach gives your child the space to grow at their own pace, make their own choices, and develop the independence and self-respect that will serve them for life.
At Farndon, your child's Montessori experience means:
An organised, accessible environment that encourages your child to move independently, focus deeply, and explore with purpose.
Child-led activity choices so your child develops decision-making skills and a genuine sense of ownership over their learning.
Natural self-discipline built through structured activities and clear expectations your child can rely on.
Respect and responsibility - for their surroundings, their peers, and themselves - developed through daily practice, not instruction.
Enriched Learning Experiences
Your child's day at Farndon Day Nursery & Forest School goes far beyond academic learning.
Every experience is carefully designed to stimulate your child's senses, spark their imagination, and help them build the social skills that will shape who they become.
Outdoor Play - Your child spends three hours outdoors every single day, exploring a large, natural garden where hands-on learning encourages physical development, teamwork, and a genuine love of the natural world.
Storytelling and Drama - Through role play, stories, and expressive arts, your child develops empathy, creativity, and the communication skills that help them connect with the world around them.
