Why Childhaven?
We are a unique and curious setting offering your child a wonderful world of experiences in their earliest years. We have recently achieved the Curiosity Approach accreditation and are the only setting in the area with this prestigious badge. Please see www.thecuriosityapproach.com.
Children are free to access a whole range of learning opportunities, indoors and out all year round. We operate on two floors of a unique and beautiful Victorian building, as well as offering a fantastic garden space which the children can access in all weathers.
We have a highly qualified teaching team, including qualified teachers, higher level and advanced teaching assistants. We have specialisms in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, Speech and Language Development, beach schools, early reading, writing and maths, sensory play, heuristic play, and working with children for whom English is an additional language.
We also offer a range of enhanced activities, including…
Beach schools, food activities, walks and visits, Kathy Seabrook’s fun music, Yoga sessions, Jabadao (developmental movement play), nature club with our resident gardener, music and movement club with the Stephen Joseph Theatre and adults with dementia.

We are so excited for our last week of term next week. We have so much planned every day to celebrate all of our wonderful children who will be returning to us in September and to all the amazing older children who will be starting new schools in September. We will be having lots of different activities over the week so that everyone has the chance to celebrate with us. Do think bright festival fun 🤩 all of our grown ups are putting in so much time to make this a very special time for us all to enjoy together.
Do you know a children’s entertainer that would give up some of their time to entertain our lovely children on the last week of term? If so please contact us 🤡 x
Time is running out if you want a space for September........ we are almost full so please get in touch ASAP. We are likely to be operating waiting lists this year for January and Easter starters too.![]()

If you are considering Childhaven - we are open 8am - 545pm term time only. Take a look.......we have the most wonderful environment for children to flourish in and the most amazing and experienced teaching team. Our wonderful nursery garden is available from the second children walk through the door, and all day every day!
If anyone has any unwanted photo booth props or party inflatables I would be really happy to take them off your hands. Thank you or anything for our festival theme really. X
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate our 75th birthday with us. There was a real community feeling and it was lovely to hear memories from all the way back to 1953 as well as meeting some new starters for September. What a lovely moment to be a part of xx
We are very busy in nursery just now with water play to keep us cool during these hot days, please can you make sure that you send your child with spare cool clothes that we can easily change them into or will dry quickly, remembering to cover sensitive areas with clothes and everywhere else with sun cream.
Do you have or know of anyone who has something like this? It doesn’t matter if it needs work doing to it. I would love one for nursery so that we can store all of our sensory items on and in it. Thank you 😊 x
Who doesn’t love a good tombolla? We will be organising one to raise funds closer to the end of term. Do you have any unwanted gifts? We would love to have them. Please if you would like to donate anything pop it into reception for us. Thank you 😊
