Our Nursery is warm and nurturing with flexible, unhurried routines to ensure children feel safe and supported, giving them the confidence to explore and discover as they grow and develop. Within the Tohora Nursey is our "Nest" - our safe nurturing space for our non-mobile babies.
Our Tohora Nursery caregivers practice relationship-based care. We believe that it is important for every child to have a special person that they can form a respectful and trusting relationship with while following the individual needs of the child.
