Seedlings kindergarten takes place in a beautiful converted barn in the heart of North Norfolk, and is run by a qualified Steiner Waldorf teacher with many years experience of working in early years.

OUTDOOR PLAYOutside the children have space to tear about like galloping ponies, to dig the earth and plant seeds, for sand and water play, for climbing and balancing, to pull the cart, push the wheelbarrow, or roll the hoop, to draw on the chalkboard or hide in the willow hut... See Photos... |
SONGS, RHYMES & STORIESThrough singing we lead the children from one activity to another, as we follow the gentle rhythm of the morning. Seasonal songs, rhymes and finger games are enjoyed by the children every day during 'circle time', and each morning ends with a fairytale or nature story... See Photos... |
