Croft Corner open in 2013 as Sheffield's first nursery based on the forest school ethos. We are nestled in a lovely, green area of Millhouses, with Ecclesall Woods and Millhouses Park just a short walk away, making it perfectly located for our little explorers.

Our passionate team is committed to fostering a calm, secure, and engaging atmosphere where every child can learn and thrive. We embrace a child-centred philosophy, focusing on the overall development of each child and laying the groundwork for their lifelong learning journey. To ensure all children thrive and make progress we work in partnership with parents and other professionals such as speech and language therapists and the 0-5 SEN team to achieve this. 

Nature is an integral part of the Croft Corner experience. Our children love to explore local parks and woodlands, which play a significant role in our Forest School sessions for pre-schoolers, and we encourage participation from the Nest and Den in these outdoor experiences. We are fortunate to have beautiful garden spaces that are accessible to all rooms throughout the day. We encourage children to explore and appreciate the outdoors, whatever the weather. We teach respect for nature, encouraging this by avoiding flower picking, conserving water, and minimizing waste. Additionally, we provide various loose parts for creative play, allowing children to engage in endless imaginative activities, ensuring that each day is a unique adventure!

Within all the rooms we love to learn from our local community by visiting the supermarket, library and our friends at Henleigh Hall nursing home, as well as inviting visitors in to talk to us about different professions, beliefs and  engage in a variety of experiences such as Zoo lab and Sensory stories. 

If you would like to visit us, please get in touch, and we would happily arrange a visit for you.
