A promise of a magical childhood, from our family to yours.
Set within the beautiful Cornish landscape, we offer an early years’ experience with the magic of childhood at its heart. Naturally Learning is a place to make meaningful memories, connect with nature and learn skills for life.
What we believe
Naturally Learning has a strong ethos, underpinned by brain development theory, an understanding of how children learn, knowledge of child development theories and years of experience working with young children and their families.
Our holistic approach to childcare and education focuses on the child as a whole, nurturing their body, mind and soul.
Where we play
Our indoor environments provide spaces of calm where children can access a wide range of stimulating learning experiences, and a variety of interesting resources to investigate.
At Naturally Learning there are quiet places to rest and reflect, communication-friendly spaces to talk with friends, areas to spark creativity and imagination, things to question and count, sensory experiences to explore and places to read and write.
At Naturally Learning, children have the opportunity to spend much of their time outside and experience multiple learning opportunities in our outdoor classrooms and gardens.
We are proud to offer award winning forest and beach school sessions as outdoor learning is integral to our ethos. Find us in the woods or on the coast as we build independent, capable and resilient learners through access to wild spaces and risky play.
How we learn
Our holistic approach ensures children form nurturing relationships on which to build future learning. As children develop, our knowledgeable educators provide a safe base for them to explore the challenge of independence.
Children learn best when they are fully immersed in their education which is reflected in our child led approach. At Naturally Learning there is time to play, space to explore and freedom to choose.
Through project-based planning and a seasonal curriculum, we naturally scaffold children’s learning through their own interests and inquiry.
“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world”

“The staff are amazingly friendly and make every effort to help you and your child on every way. As an anxious parent they are brilliant at making sure they have the time to talk to me and answer any questions we have. They always ask about your child and do what's best for them to continue home life at forest school, toilet training is a big one. My son asks everyday if he can go as he loves it so much”
— Jane (Mum)
“My daughter loves this nursery and adores all the staff too!
Nothing is ever too much trouble and not only do they care about your child; but us as parents too! They always keep us informed of what our daughter is doing and it’s always such fun activities. The food that they provide is so amazing and of great quality; teaching our children all about healthy nutritious food.”
