At River Mole we embed a life-long love of learning, where children are encouraged to let their curiosity guide them.
Our staff are emotionally available to all our children, helping them feel safe and secure as they grow in confidence and self-belief.
Having this opportunity to motivate, inspire and educate our future generation is exciting, challenging, and a real privilege.

We have dedicated educators that lead our forest school and outdoor learning sessions on a weekly basis. Our little Moles will have the opportunity to learn about the natural environment, handle risks and more importantly use their own initiative to solve problems and co-operate with others.
At River Mole children are encouraged to take part in Forest school/outdoor learning away from the setting once a week after they turn 3. These sessions are designed for our older year group and run throughout the year in all weather conditions. This helps foster resilience and creativity, as children will adapt the way they tackle activities based on the seasons and the weather conditions.

“My daughter is so happy here and learning and developing well. She comes home every day telling us something new she has learned or made.”
“Thanks to you and the talented team, River Mole is an amazing place for kids to grow and develop. You should be extremely proud! Please carry on with all your hard work as it means the world to families like ours!”
“Our daughter has had the most incredible time with you all. We are forever grateful. Thank you for going above and beyond.”
"Thank you so much! River Mole has made such a huge difference to our son and it has been wonderful to see him blossom this year with all your care and expertise. We really couldn’t have wished for a better start to school life."
"Thank you for everything you have all done to help our son learn and grow. Each and every one of you have had an amazing impact on him.
The transformation over the last 2 years is incredible. Thank you for being the best possible starting blocks we could have hoped for, for him. There really are no words for how grateful we are.
"
"Can’t believe we are finally at the end of our journey at River Mole. Our youngest arrived barely speaking a word and now is a happy, confident, curious chatterbox. A million thank yous.
"
"I don’t know where we would be without your wonderful pre-school – River Mole has been the most wonderful, welcoming place and we can’t begin to thank you all enough.
The change in our daughter since September has been miraculous and she’s doing things we never thought she could! Without the super-human efforts of all the team we’d be truly stuck. A huge thanks to Jackie and Karen for their tireless dedication for all of our daughter’s extra needs."
"Thank you for the wonderful pre-school experience you have given our daughter. She’s had so many lovely memories made and it is so clear how much the team care about making this a special time for all of the children. We’re so glad to River Mole for her pre-school experience."
"We are so happy with all the staff at River Mole who built lovely relationships with our daughter and taught her to do so much. Our girl can write her own name and is brilliant at her phonics and ready to start Reception in September."
"River Mole pre-school was our first choice for our son to attend. There is a fantastic variety of activities and I like the parents received a regular email updating us about what activities were going on. When I compared notes as to how some of my other mum friends talked about the pre-schools and nurseries their little ones attended, it really was nowhere near as good as River Mole. Highly recommend to all parents, best pre-school in the area by far."
