Our spaces in pictures

Spaces your child can make their own infra.hero.titlePost

Children learn best where they feel at home: bright enough to see, calm enough to concentrate, safe enough to dare to explore. These are the spaces you'll walk through during your visit.

A glimpse of our every day

Pictures speak louder than a description. Every photo here was taken in our own spaces, during everyday activities.

Space by space

What you'll see on your visit

Every space has a clear purpose and was designed for real everyday use, not for the photo. Here's what happens in each one, and why.

Nursery room (3 months – 2 years)

A space designed for the very youngest: washable floor, furniture at their height, a safety gate and sensory materials within easy reach. The room is divided into calm zones for naps and activity zones for play, under the watchful eye of the team.

Little ones' playroom (PS / MS)

A purple room dedicated to play and activities for the youngest kindergarten classes: colourful bunting, storage trays children can reach and a wide range of sensory materials. A space where children learn by touching, tidying and inventing.

Sensory materials freely available
Storage trays at child height
A bright, welcoming atmosphere

Primary classrooms (grades 1 to 6)

Our primary classrooms have individual desks, a blackboard and large windows for the best possible natural light. Each year group has its own room, with its own learning materials and a calm working area.

Dormitory / rest area

A dedicated dormitory, separate from the activity areas to keep it calm. Each child has their own named bed and their own bedding. Light and temperature are adjusted to help them fall asleep quickly and sleep well.

Outdoor play areas

An enclosed, secure outdoor space where children go out every day whenever the weather allows. Shock-absorbing flooring under the equipment, play structures suited to each age, and always at least two adults present during playtime.

Dining hall

A dining hall designed for calm and togetherness: tables at child height, table service, and one adult per group to support the youngest. Meals are prepared and tasted on site before serving.

A place designed to be safe

Safety you can check in every corner

A beautiful space isn't enough: it has to be designed for children who run, climb and explore. Here are the points you can check for yourself during your visit.

Childproofed throughout
Covered sockets, rounded corners, cleaning products and medicines out of children's reach, and doors fitted with protective guards.
Access and evacuation
Exits kept clear at all times, evacuation instructions on display, fire extinguishers checked regularly and evacuation drills organised.
Line of sight at all times
Open, glazed spaces let adults keep every child in view, with no blind spots.
Authorised people only
No child is ever handed over to anyone not listed on the list of authorised people you have given us.
