The Together Series of Children’s Books

At Home Grown Children’s Eco Nursery, our philosophy is grounded in the belief that children are intrinsically capable, curious, and full of potential. We see childhood as a sacred time, one that deserves to be cherished, protected, and celebrated.

We are more than just a nursery. We are a living, breathing community where love, trust, and compassion shape every relationship, every lesson, every moment.

We believe that nature is not just a backdrop for learning, it is a vital teacher in itself. Our environments are intentionally designed to inspire wonder, encourage exploration, and spark deep connection with the natural world.

From planting seeds to observing butterflies, children engage daily with the rhythms of the Earth. Through this, they develop environmental empathy, a sense of responsibility, and an early understanding of sustainability. We call this “nurtured by nature”, an approach that allows children to thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually, while feeling connected to the world around them.

Everything we do is based on building strong, secure relationships, with children, with families, with each other, and with the planet. We see each child as a unique individual, and each family as a partner in their learning journey.

Children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and truly understood. That’s why we prioritiseemotional wellbeing, gentle transitions, and loving care in all we do. We model kindness, compassion, and respect, creating a culture where every voice matters and every heart is held.

We are passionate about raising socially aware, empathetic, and mindful citizens of the world. Our curriculum weaves in age, appropriate concepts of sustainability, community service, and inclusion, planting the seeds of compassion and global awareness from the earliest  years.

Our Green Engagement Programme empowers children to take action for the planet, while our culturally inclusive practices ensure every child feels a deep sense of belonging. Through small daily choices and bighearted ideas, we are helping to shape a more hopeful, connected future.

Our approach to teaching is inspired by a blend of early childhood philosophies, including the EYFS framework, child, led learning, and nature pedagogy. We respect each child’s pace, rhythm, and learning style, encouraging creativity, imagination, and independent thought.

We value curiosity over outcome, and play as the highest form of learning. Whether they’re building fairy houses in the garden, listening to stories beneath a tree, or talking about how bees make honey, children are learning in ways that are meaningful and joyful.
