We are small scale
With a maximum capacity of eight children, our small setting gives children the opportunity to explore at their own pace, alongside other peers. The small scale means that the Beansprouts team are able to fully engage with your child throughout their days with us, allowing their cognitive development to expand and flourish.
The Beansprouts Ethos
We offer a child-led approach
With a child led approach to play we offer a stimulating environment in which children can participate in a variety of activities tailored to each child’s specific interests. By observing and listening we learn about what they’re interested in and incorporate it into their play and learning – if dinosaurs are a firm favourite you can bet we’ll be getting them out to frolic on the messy play trays!
The Beansprouts Day
We are flexible in our days to suit our cohorts needs but this is the framework we generally work towards…
8:30-9:15 Welcome group time
9:30-11:15 Outing, AM snack, onsite learning play
11:15-12:00 Lunch time and preparations for group nap time
12:00-14:00 Nap time for group nappers, onsite learning play for non nappers
14:00-15:00 Afternoon learning play
15:00-15:30 Group time
15:30-16:00 Afternoon snack
16:00-18:00 Learning play, preparations for pick up times
All our menus are created in house and our food is cooked fresh every day.
Beth and Philly create all the menus at Beansprouts on a 12 week rotation - this gives the cohort the chance to get to know the meals and have a routine with their food.
We ensure all children’s dietaries and needs are met when creating the menus, working in collaboration with families to help children navigate their relationships with food.
Meal times are so important to us, they create a social gathering for our cohort, a time to share and be part of a community. The sprouts in for the day all sit around our tables at the same height and the team sit with them - conversations are had and relationships are nurtured.

We love to get our sprouts helping with food preparation, offering opportunity for them to experience their food in a different way.
