The Snowflakes Approach
About Us
Over the past 20 years, we've seen the impact of our approach firsthand. Children who start their journey at Snowflakes consistently transition to school and into university with confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for future learning.
We believe what sets us apart is our meticulously structured framework. Our framework ensures that each child's interests are woven into their daily activities and play time at the same time as their developmental learning. We call it the snowball effect where their interests and their developement grows & compounds until they begin school confident and ready for more.
We invite you to visit us, meet our team, and see the Snowflakes difference for yourself.

KEY PERSON
A child's brain from birth to 5 years old is growing faster than at any other point in their life. That's why every child is paired with a key person - a dedicated qualified educator who gives the child the individualised attention they need.
Every child is unique, with their own interests, strengths, and learning style. Your child's key person will not just be your child's primary caregiver and your main point of contact, they will also bring their qualifications, knowledge & expertise into their development and making you a part of that everyday.
A village to raise a child
OUR TEAM
The heart of Snowflakes lies in our exceptional staff. More than just educators, they are guides and nurturers, We have built a team that genuinely care about navigating each child's progress a little further everyday. Many of our staff have been with us for over a decade and some two decades!
It's not just about qualifications. Our staff are chosen for their warmth, creativity, and genuine love for working with children. They create an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired.
Through ongoing professional development, our staff stay at the forefront of early years education, continually refining their practice to provide the very best for your child. Our staff hold advanced qualifications in early years education, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their roles.
Settling In Period
Their first week at snowflakes
During your child's first week at Snowflakes, a key person builds a connection with your child while you remain nearby. We never expect any child to adjust immediately, instead we structure the settling-in period around their individual needs.
Their key person works with you to understand routines and preferences, while observing how your child interacts within our learning spaces.
We know this transition matters deeply to families, so you can stay as long as needed – whether in the room or gradually increasing time away as your child grows in confidence.
It is worth mentioning that in all our years we've found the child settles into their new surroundings before the parents are ready to do so! Children are more adaptable than we give them credit for!
