Hello, I'm Emma, the Nursery Manager at The Ark Kesteven Road.

We provide a unique, home-from-home environment with beautifully crafted rooms inspired by the Hygge philosophy and Scandinavian design. We believe children flourish in nurturing, welcoming spaces, and we champion the benefits of outdoor play and hands-on learning.

Our children love exploring the mud kitchen, spending time in our cosy yurt, and getting stuck into activities at the allotment—experiences that spark curiosity and creativity every day.

Located next to St George's School, we're proud to support smooth transitions to primary education. The children enjoy joining in with PE lessons, sports days, and nativity performances—building confidence and a strong sense of community.
