Little Explorers Outdoor Pre-school @ Highway Farm

Little Explorers is an outdoor pre-school based at and owned by Highway farm.

We take children from 3 years old and offer the complete EYFS curriculum through the outdoors and outdoor learning and are outside up to 90% of the day. Children cook on camp fires, grow fruit and vegetables and explore all nature has to offer.

We have two eco buildings that we use as the bases for each of our two classes.

All staff have at least a level 3 in early years and are first aid trained. Rachel Trengove, who leads one of the classes and also oversees the learning of the children in both classes, has over 13 years teaching experience and 12 years within the EYFS stage in a reception class at the same school.

We fully follow the EYFS curriculum as do all other pre-schools, just our learning is through connecting with nature and learning outdoors.
