The early years of a child's life are incredibly precious. We want our children and their families to feel happy and secure, building positive memories that will stay with them always. That's why at Atelier we have created a unique nursery environment. We seek to balance the intimacy and nurture of a family home with quality resources, exciting learning and engaged staff.
Children are at the centre of all we do. When children join Atelier, the nursery very quickly becomes a special place not just for them but for the whole family. Our key family and free flow approaches offer children freedom in a supportive environment. This ensures that they can be confident, skilful and capable learners who are respected and valued.

Services
Offering two purposefully designed spaces for children aged 4 months to five years we provide a careful and seamless balance between care and education. Each of our individually designed spaces allows children to explore and discover, so they may follow their interests and extend their understanding, skills and knowledge.
The approach to care and learning at Atelier Nursery is quite simply magical! Sometimes we wonder how to define what to the untrained eye must look a fine line between chaos and cosmos! However, to us as a team of educators and artists, there is simply no other way to work. We would like to invite you, to share the Pedagogy, Provocation and Practice at Atelier Nursery that together makes for a strong, powerful and enabling environment.
Just as in Reggio Emilia, at Atelier Nursery, each child is viewed as infinitely capable, creative and intelligent. The role of the practitioner is to support these qualities and to challenge children in appropriate ways. What makes our pedagogy special? At Atelier Nursery we recognise 'play as the language of childhood' and the best way for children to be learning.

There are many things I love about Atelier... my little one is such a sensitive soul and the entire team has been so loving and supportive from day one. It took ages to get him settled and everyone involved from management, his keyworker, who ever is at the door at drop off were so welcoming and warm. Everyone knew his name from the beginning and that to me instantly made me confident that he was in great hands. I love the free flow concept and feel like all the children seem so happy there. So thank you Atelier.
