Confidence grows
through curiosity.
A term-time preschool for children aged 2–5, where warm relationships, child-led learning and real-world experiences help children become confident, resilient and ready for what comes next.
Secure enough to explore.
Confident enough to try.
Hunter House is a preschool where children are encouraged to take an active role in their own learning, build independence and develop the confidence to try new things.
The setting embraces the Curiosity Approach, using inspiring environments, open-ended resources and children's own interests to encourage imagination, creativity and meaningful learning.
Space to imagine.
Space to take a safe risk.
Hunter House uses its indoor and outdoor environments to encourage creativity, physical confidence, construction, problem-solving and sustained concentration.
Climb. Construct. Work it out.
Outdoor play gives children opportunities to develop physical confidence, use real-life tools and resources and learn how to navigate appropriate risks safely.
Ideas become experiments.
Creative and open-ended experiences encourage children to mix, make, investigate, concentrate and discover what happens next.
Extra experiences.
No extra barriers.
Hunter House works with external partners to provide additional activities that support children's physical, social, language and communication development.

One setting.
Learning that grows with them.
Hunter House is specifically a preschool setting rather than a baby nursery. Experiences are adapted around children's individual starting points as they move from early preschool into greater independence and school readiness.
Growing voices. Growing confidence.
Younger children are supported to settle securely, communicate their needs, explore resources independently and begin developing strong social relationships.
- Secure relationships
- Communication and vocabulary
- Physical development
- Growing independence
Resilient, capable and ready.
As children grow, experiences increasingly support problem-solving, self-care, cooperation, communication and the practical skills that help make the transition to school successful.
- Decision-making and problem-solving
- Friendships and cooperation
- Self-care and practical skills
- School readiness
Learning that reaches
beyond the preschool door.
Hunter House connects nursery learning with home, the local community and the wider world so children can see that what they learn has meaning beyond a single activity.
Try it. Talk about it. Take it further.
An on-site library and book bags encourage children to choose reading material and share stories with their families at home.
Visits to local parks, the library, shops and soft play help children connect themes and ideas with real-world experiences.
The setting's diverse community is reflected through cultural celebrations, festivals and opportunities for families to take part.
Coffee mornings, parent evenings, cultural events and EYLog help families stay involved in children's learning and preschool life.
Good in
every area.
Hunter House was judged Good overall at its June 2023 inspection, with Good judgements across all four graded areas.
Inspectors highlighted children's secure relationships, independence, creativity, physical confidence, communication, SEND support and the way leaders work with families beyond the preschool itself.
