Nacton and Bucklesham Under Five's
PreSchool

Set in the heart of Nacton Village, Nacton & Bucklesham Under 5s is a beautiful rural early years provision. We offer early years education & play experiences that nurture the soul as children discover their "feeling of me' & make sense of the world around them. Our play environment, rich in authentic & natural resources, empowers children to follow their curiosities, fostering resilience, self confidence & a love for learning beyond the classroom. Our team are dedicated to providing attuned care & learning opportunities respecting each child as unique. We offer a responsive curriculum that starts with the child in the context of their lives & one which embraces a child led approach. Daily rhythms offer a sense of predictability as the children free flow between our indoor & outdoor play spaces. Learning at NBU5s is a whole bodied, whole hearted journey where together we co-construct your child's developmental story. We urge you to come & visit.
