Venture Outdoor Kindergarten - Venture Kitley Farm

Nestled behind Ben's Farm Shop in Yealmpton, you'll find Venture Kitley Farm, a truly enchanting preschool setting. We've lovingly crafted this unique space from the ground up, creating a haven perfectly tailored to the children who fill it with laughter and learning.

Our privileged location allows us to explore the vast Kitley Estate and its captivating woodlands. And, on Fridays, we embark on a special journey to the breathtaking Mothecombe Beach. There, we transform the beach house into our home for the day, warming little toes by the fire, sharing stories, and fuelling our imaginations between exhilarating beach explorations.

At Venture Kitley Farm, we also offer a 'Koselig Club,' providing an extra hour of care before and after standard preschool hours - ideal for parents needing that extra flexibility. 

It's wonderful to hear that "Children show immense curiosity and imagination as they explore what lives in the garden... Behaviour is exceptional. Children navigate their own play while adults observe and give them space to try out new ideas." - Ofsted Inspection Report, May 2022.  This is exactly the kind of environment we strive to provide.

Here at Venture, we believe that each child is a unique individual, and every moment is a valuable opportunity for discovery. We foster a calm, gentle, and unobtrusive teaching approach that encourages children to embrace challenges, solve problems, and grow with empathy and compassion.

The key qualities we cultivate at venture

Emotional Wellbeing: The Heart of Our Approach

Your child's wellbeing is at the very core of everything we do. We prioritise nurture, building warm, caring, and respectful relationships. We empower children to develop a strong sense of self-control, so they feel loved, important, and understood as the unique individuals they are. This results in confident, happy children who are intrinsically motivated to thrive. By focusing on security, identity, belonging, purpose, and personal competence, we equip children with the tools to approach life's challenges with confidence and achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Independence: Empowering Little Explorers

We hold high aspirations for all our children and foster a culture of mutual respect between staff and child. Together, we are a team. We empower children to take ownership of their belongings and develop the crucial fine motor skills, positive attitudes, and resilience they need to navigate their day independently. We believe in nurturing their natural capabilities.

Self-Confidence: Building Foundations for Life

Our entire environment, ethos, and approach are designed to ensure that every Venture child begins school with the skills and self-belief needed to accomplish anything they set their minds to. The unique attributes they develop in our care build a confidence that extends far beyond the classroom, becoming a fundamental part of how they interact with the world around them, allowing them to truly blossom.
