Tiny Wilds

Tiny Wilds is our pre-school setting which offers funded and unfunded places for 3 to 5 year olds (currently set at 30 hours per week).

We are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:30 - 3:30pm during term time only.

Children must attend all 3 days and we find they love it so much, they would want to come even more if they could!

Tiny Wilds is run by a qualified Primary and Early Years Practitioner, Abi, who is also our Tiny Wilds Manager for all our settings. Abi is joined by Teaching Assistant, Mike.

Tiny Wilds is located in our large Mongolian yurt in the centre of our nature garden. The yurt is a bright, open space with large windows looking out onto the Dartmoor hills. There is a wood burning stove for colder winter days and an outside sink and washing station. The space is rotated every term and has a wooden play kitchen, a snuggle sofa, dressing up rail and craft table.

At Tiny Wilds we go by “stage not age” so when children are ready to move up to Mighty Wilds, we have lots of discussion with parents and offer a transition period where they can go between both settings.

From September 2025, we are no longer accepting children into Tiny Wilds who have already confirmed a place for mainstream school for the following year. This is because we hope our Tiny Wilds children will eventually move into flexi-schooling or our group home education Mighty Wilds. If you are unsure or undecided about schooling, flexi-schooling or home schooling, please speak to us about options.
