  • "Visiting Atelier Nursery was nothing short of inspiring. The level of intentionality in every corner, and the way the staff interacted with the children, was a powerful example in respectful, child-led practice. Clare's professionalism and deep knowledge of early years education shone through at every stage of our visit. It was a joy to witness such a thoughtful and progressive approach – I left with new ideas and a genuine sense of possibility for what early years settings can be."

  • "The leadership workshop with Clare was one of the most thought-provoking sessions I’ve attended in years. Her ability to connect theory with real, everyday practice made the content so relevant. She created a space that was open and reflective, and I came away with a clearer sense of my own leadership style and how to support my team more effectively. Thank you for reigniting my passion!"

Documentation as Dialogue: Making Children’s Learning Visible

In many early years settings, routines are seen as necessary but often mundane. At Atelier Nursery, we see things differently. Within this podcast we discuss how care moments such as nappy changing, feeding and rest are viewed as sacred rituals where relationships deepen and learning unfolds. These are not just tasks to tick off, but powerful opportunities for attunement, connection, and trust.

Leading with Heart: Reflective Leadership in the Early Years.

Early years leadership isn’t about status or systems—it’s about relationships, reflection, and responsibility. At Atelier Nursery, we believe that every team member is a leader in their own way, and that strong leadership emerges from listening deeply, acting with integrity, and staying connected to purpose.

At Atelier Nursery, we approach the environment not as a backdrop, but as an active, living part of the pedagogy. Our spaces are not simply where learning happens—they help shape what learning is possible.

In our Key Families, children of different ages come together, held within the same consistent group. Babies, toddlers and preschoolers form authentic, lasting relationships with each other and with their key adults. It’s about familiarity, security, and belonging.
