Our approach

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our image of the child is one of strength, potential and connection. We believe children are capable, curious learners who grow through exploration and play.

Our values

Rooted in Christian morals and values, we teach children to respect themselves, others, and the world around them. Every day, we practise kindness, honesty, trust and care – helping children grow into socially capable, creative young citizens.

A day full of discovery

Each day at Weavers’ Nest brings new opportunities to explore and discover. Our interactive and emergent curriculum, coupled with our rich environment, allows for meaningful learning based on the children's interests and observations.

Our team

At Weavers’ Nest, your child is surrounded by kind, capable hands and caring hearts. Our team is made up of six qualified and experienced teachers who understand how young children learn, grow, and thrive.

Alongside them, our wonderful classroom assistants and student interns bring extra energy, laughter, and support to each moment of the day.

Every moment matters

Our classrooms are filled with warmth, laughter, and curiosity. Each teacher brings their own passion and care to create an environment where children feel seen and supported.

Gentle care, always near

We’re also lucky to have a full-time nursing sister available on the Highbury estate, offering peace of mind to parents and gentle care when little ones need it.

Learning through play

At Weavers’ Nest, play is how children make sense of their world. Through imagination, movement, music, and discovery, learning unfolds naturally — guided by curiosity, joy, and connection.

Fantasy

Role-play and dress-up activities, storytelling, puppet shows, and small world play.

Aftercare

Our Aftercare programme offers a calm, caring space for children who stay beyond the regular school day. With familiar faces and a consistent routine, children can relax, play, and enjoy unhurried afternoons with friends.

A gentle end to a busy day

In Aftercare, children unwind at their own pace — playing, chatting, or simply resting after a full day of learning and fun. Familiar faces and gentle routines help them feel safe, relaxed, and happy to stay a little longer in our nurturing space.

Supervised, happy afternoons

Our caring team supervises every moment, offering quiet indoor play, outdoor adventures, and time for creativity. Open from 12h00 to 16h30, Aftercare gives families peace of mind and children a calm, joyful close to their day. Parents provide lunch for those attending.

"As a parent, choosing the right foundation for our children’s early years was one of the most important decisions we had to make. From the moment we set foot on the Weavers' Nest campus, we knew that there was no other place for our children."

"Every day is different, and honestly, even I get excited to see what’s been set up each morning. The creativity and thought that goes into everything is just incredible."

Questions and answers for curious grown-ups

Questions and answers for curious grown-ups

We know choosing the right preschool is a big decision. Here are some of the most common questions we get from parents – and if you don’t see yours here, feel free to get in touch.

What ages do you accept at Weavers’ Nest?

We welcome boys and girls from age 2 (the year they turn 3), across three age groups: Grade 0000, Grade 000, Grade 00.

Is there a uniform?

There is no set uniform – children are free to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and ready to play. We simply ask that clothing is weather-appropriate, easy to move in, and okay to get messy. We strongly encourage parents to avoid sending children in fancy or expensive outfits. Our days often involve paint, sand, mud and plenty of outdoor fun – so practical, washable clothes are best. If you’d like a little something to show your Weavers’ Nest pride, we do have branded T-shirts available at the Highbury uniform shop. These are completely optional and perfect for play. Spare clothes are always a good idea too – just in case!

Do you offer aftercare?

Yes, our Aftercare programme runs in the afternoons and provides a relaxed, caring space for children who stay a little longer. More details can be found [here].

Are meals provided?

Children bring their own packed snacks and lunches. We encourage healthy, balanced options and provide guidance for parents when needed. Weavers’ Nest is a nut-free school.

What happens if my child is sick or gets injured during the day?

We have a full-time nursing sister on the Highbury estate to care for children if they feel unwell or need medical attention. If anything arises during the day, we’ll contact you right away.

Do you offer holiday care?

Our term dates follow the Highbury calendar. Aftercare runs during most holidays for the first 1 – 2 weeks (depending on how long the holidays are).

How do you communicate with parents?

We believe in open, ongoing communication. Teachers are always happy to chat in person or over email. In Terms 1 and 3, families have the chance to meet for a ‘coffee catch-up’ with their child’s teacher. In Terms 2 and 4, you will receive a report which will be available for download via ADAM. These reports and parent meetings help keep you informed and involved.

Do you accommodate children with allergies or special dietary needs?

Yes. We work closely with parents to understand any allergies or dietary restrictions and ensure children are kept safe and included. Please share all relevant information with us on enrolment.

Can I visit before enrolling?

Absolutely. We’d love to show you around and answer any questions you may have. We also host an Open Day annually in March. Please contact us to book a visit – we look forward to meeting you and your little one.
