Our Swedish-built log cabin creates a warm, welcoming home-from-home, where children can feel comfortable and connected. Inspired by Hygge, our approach nurtures comfort, connection and well-being. Familiar routines continue throughout the year, helping little ones feel at home in nursery, with a reassuring sense of belonging as they learn and grow.

Outdoor learning is a year-round priority for every age. From our nursery garden and the grounds of St. Gilbert’s School to an external woodland location, little children can explore, build dens and grow in confidence. With space for planting throughout the year, little green fingers can get busy while curiosity blossoms through time spent outdoors.

Next door to St Gilbert’s School, we work closely together to help children feel confident about their next step. PE, nativities and sports days offer familiar experiences that support a gentle transition to school. Our nursery is open throughout the year, not just during term time, so children can enjoy familiar routines as they prepare for school.

At Ark Foundry Road, we truly believe in creating a home-from-home atmosphere, where we provide exceptional care for your child and support you as parents during this important transition. Our aim is to ensure you feel engaged and supported at every stage of your child's educational journey. We are dedicated not just to educating but also to empowering children to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
If you’re ready to start this wonderful adventure with us, we warmly invite you to schedule a visit and discover the magic of our nursery firsthand. We can’t wait to meet you!

Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.

Our bespoke food menus cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy nutritious meals. With a wide range of meal options, we provide a diverse and inclusive dining experience that encourages healthy eating and introduces new flavors.

Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.

At Ark Foundry Road, we love being part of a caring and connected community. Giving back is something we’re truly passionate about, which is why we’ve chosen to support Kawasaki Disease UK, who provide support to families affected by the heart disease, usually occuring in children under the age of 5
Throughout the year, we’ll be getting together for lots of fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days, to sponsored challenges. Together we can make a difference to such an important cause and inspire our children to grow with kindness and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a community! Keep an eye out for updates on our events and how you can get involved in supporting Kawasaki Disease UK.
