Creative Development

Amazing... Let's keep our fingers crossed and pray that all trained teachers and nursery nurses find the enthousiasm and drive to create a setting like this one!

I really enjoyed watching this video and would love being a child at this nursery!!!! It was clear the children were learning and enjoying every bit of it. I loved the different ideas and the enthusiastic approach--fantastic!!!

A really inspiring video. It is terrific to see this approach. We are also trialing a play-based approach with multiage students preps-grade 2, 3 staff and 20 students each.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. What a happy school to be at.

I am a Y1 teacher working with a class of 30 children and one hour's classroom support per day. I would love to be able to offer my children some of these wonderful activities which they would benefit from in so many ways. One of the crucial elements here is the ratio of staff to children. My own creative juices are longing to get going again after years of trying to fit in too many subjects with too little time. I think it might be time to move to Wales!!!!

It is wonderful to watch the video. I could actually see different ways how children learn. I had my training as a nursery teacher in Germany. When I taught there in a Kindergarten (nursery school) I very much let the children explore the world in the same way as shown in the video. When I moved to the Netherlands I got my bachelor of education there. I learned a lot through the training. What worries me is that in Holland young children are often working at tables with worksheets and are already tested aged 4! I hope that we all across Europe will learn to let children explore their world through play using their skills as children who are perfectly capable of learning.

A beautiful video to watch. I wonder when we will see just how different 'these' children will become when compared with those who have experienced other curricula. Please keep up updated on this, very interesting.
