Gemstones Nursery School 

Concept site

We are building a Teacher-crafted Nursery School for parents who value high quality childcare.

Not Just Ready For School... Ready to Shine!

Our Plan:

To establish a high-quality nursery that bridges the gap between traditional day nurseries and primary school.

Rooted in concepts from Montessori, Nurture and storytelling, our nursery aims to develop the social, emotional, and cognitive skills needed for a confident and seamless transition into primary education.

  • The Nursery
    The intention for the nursery is to deliver a high quality, values driven inclusive curriculum to children 18 months - 5 years across two rooms. Quality SEN support is available immediately for children who present with additional needs. The rooms will be resourced appropriate to the age group. The older room will be zoned to enable learning in targeted small groups. Both rooms will open into the outdoor space to allow for indoor to outdoor free-flow play. Children can access the soft-play area in the morning before the centre is open to the public. Additional rooms to include a darkened nap room, staff room and work space.
  • The Play Cafe
    A café and soft-play area run by experienced teachers offers a unique and powerful combination that can lead to a highly successful business. Teachers bring a deep understanding of child development, which allows them to design and manage the soft-play area to maximise both safety and learning opportunities. This expertise ensures that children are engaged in activities that not only entertain but also promote physical, cognitive, and social development. While the children enjoy the thoughtfully curated play area, parents can unwind in the adjoining café, where they can keep an eye on their little ones while still relaxing. The café will offer nutritious, toddler-friendly meals, reinforcing healthy habits and creating a well-rounded experience for families. By leveraging the skills and knowledge of educators, the café and soft-play area can foster a community-centred space where families return frequently, ensuring long-term business success through a loyal customer base and a strong reputation for quality and care. What the Cafe offers: Serving simple, low salt and seasoned meal options that are designed for young tastebuds Meal choices are made clear, simple and pictorial to enable children to make their own choices Selling homemade low-sugar, low-salt, kid-sized baked goods that are difficult to find in the local area Selling children-friendly snacks that parents would approve of (organic, no additives etc…) Selling essential items for baby care (individual nappies, travel-sized care products) Selling educational / play resources that are promoted by the teachers in the classroom
  • A Community Centred Space
    the teachers’ insight into child development allows for the creation of targeted events, workshops, and educational play sessions that align with developmental milestones, further distinguishing the business from typical play centres. This combination of expert care, educational play, and a comfortable café environment can make the venue a trusted destination for families. Freeplay - children can freely access the soft play equipment Events - birthday parties, family celebrations Classes: Fit & Fun agility classes, Mother & baby classes, Toddler yoga, SENsory classes Bookable space for after school clubs and adult-led sessions
