Who we are
Every child who walks through our door is seen as an individual — with their own needs, interests and potential. Our qualified early years team creates a warm, stimulating environment where curiosity is encouraged, independence is nurtured, and confidence is built from the ground up.
We believe parents are a child's first and most important educators. That's why we build genuine partnerships with families, weaving together everything that makes your child who they are.
A positive attitude to learning starts here — and lasts a lifetime.
How we learn
Each child has their own dedicated keyworker — a trusted go-to person who knows their personality, needs and learning style.
From Butterflies (2-3 yrs) and Bumblebees (3-4 yrs) to Ladybirds (4-5 yrs), every activity is designed around curiosity, exploration and fun.
Our curriculum →Our secure garden connects to Hadley Common — woodland, duck ponds and open grassland. Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door.
Our intergenerational project brings children together with elderly neighbours for games, singing and friendship — unique to Alban.
Learn more →Through Tapestry, you see photos and observations from your child's day in real time — and can add your own from home.
Open Tapestry →We follow the EYFS framework, covering all seven areas of learning. Every activity is planned around your child's individual stage.
Curriculum →What parents say
"Quite simply the best experience we could have ever wished for. It has been a real pleasure watching our daughter grow and flourish over the past 2 years."
"Alban is just the most wonderful Preschool. Both of my children absolutely loved their time there and still talk about the fun things they did."
"We are amazed at how much his confidence has grown. Sharon, Val and the team are so patient and understanding with any worries parents have."
"I feel very confident leaving my daughter knowing she will be well looked after. All the staff are amazing and she talks about what she's done all day."
"Our daughter cannot wait to get to nursery to see all her friends. She has grown in confidence and made so many friends. We love Tapestry!"
