Why Join Orchidale Nursery and Preschool?

ree

At our amazing Orchidale Nursery, childhood is about open spaces and magical discoveries that happen every single day. Housed in our purpose built bungalow, our beautiful nursery is a place where children are free to roam, play, and grow – supported by a warm and homely environment and family ethos.

So, why choose Orchidale Nursery?

From the very beginning, babies are welcomed into calm, cosy rooms filled with light, love, and gentle care. Their very own garden gives them the chance to wriggle, crawl, and toddle into the fresh air, with the wonder of nature always within reach.


Our Toddlers dive into exploration in their spacious, airy room that flows seamlessly into their very own garden. Here, our Robins- Toddlers, can climb, dig, and discover. Every day brings new adventures, where creativity is celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and friendships blossom through play and joyful experiences. When children reach preschool, learning bursts outdoors completely. At Orchidale, our preschool is not just about preparation for school – it’s about preparation for life.

Children spend their days outdoors, in two characterful Shepherd’s huts and a large yurt. Here, stories are told, new skills are built, and confidence grows stronger every day. School Robins- our preschoolers, take part in school readiness sessions where they are supported to become strong, independent learners.


And then there’s the absolutely incredible Forest School. Hidden within the Norfolk Showground, this enchanting space is alive with possibility. Children climb trees, balance on logs, build shelters, and search for minibeasts, learning to embrace challenge and adventure. Thanks to our very own two 8-seater minibuses, the world opens even wider: a trip to the coast for Beach School or Woodlands, a wander through a museum, or a nature walk – the journey itself becoming part of the fun.

Life at Orchidale is full of real, hands-on experiences. Children feed Hairy McFairy, the cockerel, and his hen, care for two soft, friendly rabbits Marshmallow and Coco, and watch the fish in the baby room’s aquarium. These daily connections with animals nurture empathy, kindness, and responsibility. Our strong community links and rewilding projects ensure that children don’t just play in nature—they grow up learning to care for it too. We also offer other fabulous enhanced provisions, including Woodwork Club, Gardening Club, Cooking Club, and even Yoga for babies! Mealtimes are another highlight at Orchidale. In our purpose-built dining room, children gather together, sharing food, laughter, and conversation, just like a family.

All of this is made possible by our outstanding team, whose passion and expertise have earned us an Ofsted Outstanding rating. With them by their side, every child is encouraged to flourish – curious, confident, and full of wonder.



Orchidale Nursery isn’t just a place to learn – it’s a place to belong. Come and see where your child’s story can begin and join our wonderful Orchidale family.
