Our Approach
At Let’s Play Daycare, we believe the early years are a precious time to build strong foundations for a lifetime of learning, curiosity, and confidence. For children aged 2–5, we offer a warm, community-focused preschool where nature, play, and purposeful learning come together.
Inspired by the Waldorf Steiner philosophy, our days follow a gentle rhythm that nurtures both the heart and the mind. From baking bread and tending the garden to painting, singing, storytelling, and exploring the outdoors, every moment is rich with opportunities to grow, imagine, and create. Our play-based approach fosters early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social skills in a natural, engaging way, preparing children not just for school, but for life.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we see each child as an individual with their own strengths, interests, and potential. Our dedicated educators create a home-like environment where children feel safe, valued, and known. Personalised learning plans ensure your child’s development is supported across all areas, emotional, social, cognitive, and physical, so they can truly flourish.
We are more than a preschool, we are a place where childhood is honoured, families feel at home, and every child’s journey is celebrated.
What is the Steiner Philosophy
At Let’s Play, our approach is inspired by Steiner education, which focuses on the whole child — their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
This means your child’s day is filled with meaningful play, hands-on experiences, and time in nature, rather than pressure or overstimulation.
We gently support curiosity, creativity, and connection, helping children feel calm, confident, and deeply settled in their environment.
Our Core Principles
Everything we do is guided by the core principles of Steiner education.
We focus on the whole child, supporting emotional, social, and cognitive development through calm environments, meaningful play, and strong relationships.
This creates a space where children feel safe, confident, and able to grow at their own pace.
🌿 Calm, Nurturing Environments 🌿
We create small, peaceful spaces where children feel safe, settled, and not overwhelmed.
☀️ Strong, Consistent Relationships ☀️
Our educators build genuine, lasting connections so every child feels known, understood, and supported.
🎨 Learning Through Meaningful Play 🎨
Children learn through hands-on experiences, creativity, and exploration — building confidence, curiosity, and real-life skills.
⏳ Gentle Rhythms & Transitions ⏳
Our days follow a calm, predictable flow that helps children feel secure, making drop-offs and transitions smoother.
🌻 A Connected Community 🌻
We create a strong sense of belonging for both children and families — so it feels like an extension of your village, not just a drop-off.
