When it comes to choosing a nursery, bigger doesn’t always mean better.At Wonderbloom, we’ve chosen to stay small on purpose — because that’s where the magic happens.
With class sizes of around 15 children and enhanced staff ratios across the setting, we offer a calm, nurturing environment where your child is truly seen, known, and supported — every single day.
👶 Small Class Sizes = Big Benefits
Each of our rooms welcomes no more than 15 children at a time. That means:
More one-to-one time between staff and children
Less overwhelm, especially for quieter or sensitive children
More meaningful friendships and social experiences
Better emotional regulation because staff have time to respond
In smaller groups, your child can build confidence at their own pace — without getting lost in the crowd.
🧡 Enhanced Ratios Make All the Difference
We staff above the legal minimum, which means:
Every child has someone available to help, listen, or support at any time
Staff have breathing room to plan activities and engage properly
Key workers can build real relationships, not just “supervise”
It also means your child isn’t just one of many — they’re noticed, responded to, and nurtured with care.
🧩 Transitions Are Easier in Small Settings
Moving up to a new room? It won’t feel scary here.
Because we’re a small team, your child will already know:
The room they’re moving into
The staff waiting to welcome them
The general rhythm of the day
This creates a gentle, reassuring experience where change feels manageable, not overwhelming.
🌈 A Calm, Connected Environment
Fewer children means less noise, fewer overstimulating moments, and more time for staff to truly engage with your child.
Children are calmer. Staff are calmer. Parents are calmer.
And in that calm, relationships can flourish. Children feel safer, and learning happens more naturally.
💬 What Parents Say About Our Small Setting
“I loved that the rooms weren’t chaotic or overcrowded. It felt peaceful — and I could see the staff weren’t stretched.”– Wonderbloom Parent
🫶 We Know Your Child — Not Just Their Name
Because our groups are small and our team is consistent, every child is genuinely known here. Their routines, their quirks, their fears, their strengths — we take the time to understand them all.
And that makes a world of difference to how they feel about coming in each day.
🌱 Small Really Is Mighty
