Welcome to Apple Blossom Kindergarten
Explore unhurried, creative learning in a beautiful setting
Apple Blossom Kindergarten is based in Levenshulme, South Manchester within beautiful Cringle Park.
We offer a play and nature-based education for children aged between 2 1/2 and 5.
We are open 8.30am-4pm Monday - Thursday.
Our approach to early years is a distinctive and unique feature of Waldorf education. It is designed to provide a home-like environment where children can feel secure and cared for.
Children stay together in our mixed-age kindergarten. The older children take care of the younger ones and the younger children look up to, and learn from, the older children. Their day is structured, with a balance of adult and child-led activities. In child-initiated play, children learn imaginatively and through exploration.
Alongside the adults, they engage in meaningful, practical tasks like gardening, cooking and crafts. Children’s communication, language and pre-literacy skills are developed through daily singing, poetry and storytelling. Practical and natural maths learning is built into many aspects of the curriculum, from setting the table to measuring their woodwork projects.
Good social habits and independence are instilled through a range of activities, including shared mealtimes, working together and the regular celebration of festivals. Children’s knowledge and understanding of the world grows through their experiences, both indoors and out. It is an ecosystem that nurtures and develops, providing a bridge from home to school and preparing children for the next stage of their learning.
