About Green Tree Childcare
Our Ethos
At Green Tree Childcare, it’s our ethos that sets us apart from other nurseries.
We embrace a ‘back to basics’ approach, combined with The Curiosity Approach and the nurturing principles of the hygge lifestyle.
Our goal is to create a supportive, imaginative, and child-led environment where children are free to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
By focusing on wellbeing, creativity, and independence, we cultivate a space that fosters confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence.

Back to Basics
Our ‘back to basics’ philosophy means we focus on hands-on, creative experiences with natural materials.
We avoid screens entirely and opt for open-ended resources that allow children to use their imagination freely.
From daily outdoor play to activities with wood, fabric, and other natural elements, we foster a sense of curiosity and encourage children to take ownership of their learning.
This approach helps develop resilience, resourcefulness, and an enduring love for discovery.
The Curiosity Approach
The Curiosity Approach inspires us to move away from rigid academic structures and embrace a natural, holistic learning environment.
At Green Tree, we provide children with open-ended toys and materials that stimulate their creativity and imagination.
By removing screens and encouraging children to explore their surroundings, we help them develop problem-solving skills and a deep sense of wonder.
Our neutral, uncluttered spaces promote mindfulness and give children room to focus on what interests them most, fostering both independence and social connection.
Hygge
Our adoption of hygge (pronounced hooga) principles means that Green Tree is more than just a nursery—it’s a home away from home.
The Scandinavian lifestyle concept of hygge plays a vital role in our nursery. We focus on creating spaces that feel safe, cosy, and harmonious.
Our rooms are filled with natural light, with cosy nooks and soft, neutral decor that provide a sense of calm and togetherness.
The comforting atmosphere helps children feel secure and encourages them to form meaningful relationships with peers and staff.
Hygge isn’t just about physical space—it’s about fostering a culture of emotional warmth, mindfulness, and contentment.
Funded Childcare
We believe that quality childcare should be available to all.
Not only have we worked hard to provide a safe, comforting and supportive environment for every child, but we also strive to be a supportive influence for parents and carers, too.
We accept and support various payment options, including funded childcare and tax-free childcare.
Nutrition
At Green Tree Childcare, we believe that good nutrition is the foundation for healthy growth and development.
Our meals and snacks are freshly prepared, using wholesome, balanced ingredients to fuel little bodies and minds.
We cater to dietary needs and preferences, ensuring every child has access to nutritious meals that support their energy, concentration, and overall wellbeing.
