About Yellow Wellies
Yellow Wellies Durham – in the heart of the City… with its own secret woodland.
A small chain of family owned nurseries , who care deeply that every child who spends time with them feels safe, happy and confident. The team works extremely hard to create a fascinating environment that provides every child with opportunities to explore with enthusiasm, engagement and fun.
We value the opportunities that outdoors has for young children. Both nurseries have qualified forest school practitioners and fascinating outdoor spaces.
We provide children with the freedom to explore and learn about the natural world around them; to find and examine mini-beasts; to grow and eat their own fruit and vegetables; to learn about caring for living things; to be challenged physically and to learn together.
First-hand experiences are key. We provide as many experiences as we and the children can think of, from visits to the Life Centre, to hatching chicks from eggs. The children enjoy growing (and killing) their own fruit and vegetables – the ones that survive they can eat, as they learn about keeping themselves healthy while caring for living things.
