About The Learning Tree in Newport
We are a Curriculum For Wales based nursery in Langstone, Newport. We care for children from 3 months to 5 years old at our Nursery and for children from 5 to 12 years at The Learning Tree Explorers, providing a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development, inspire their imagination and set a great foundation for life long learners.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on learning, creativity and positivity. By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms and environments in a home-away-from-home environment, we are able to create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.
Who We Are
The Learning Tree got its start back in 2019 when owner Chris Baker took over the nursery his own children had attended after they announced their closure. Knowing that many parents relied on the nursery and nursery staff to take care of their children as they had his, Chris created The Learning Tree Day Nursery, to continue providing high-quality care for the community.
Now, beginning in 2023, Chris is expanding the reach of his care and commitment by managing a second nursery in Newport.
We decided to do things a bit differently at The Learning Tree in Newport by creating a space which fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment, where children from 3 months to 5 years can explore the world around them.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

About Our Newport Location
When you visit us here at The Learning Tree, you’ll see firsthand what makes us different!
Our nursery is a secure, accessible space for children, with each room being specifically created for a different age group, offering them a space dedicated to their needs and development level.
Our nursery garden is enclosed and private, as well as being partly covered. This means children can safely enjoy outdoor play in all weather conditions!
Large, spacious rooms are created to provide targeted and tailored learning suitable to specific age groups and developmental stages.
Surrounded by farms and local parks, our nursery is situated in a tranquil landscape perfect for learning and exploring.
We are able to offer a wide variety of activities, including gardening, music, sports sessions and more.
Hedgehogs/Draenogod (3 months - 12 months)
Designed specifically for infants, our two baby rooms provide a serene and neutrally decorated environment, fostering a calm space for our littlest learners. Equipped with toys such as building blocks and wooden shapes, as well as sensory stimulation through hanging decorations, they offer a gentle and nurturing introduction to the world of learning and exploration.
Our Hedgehogs/Draenogod rooms seamlessly combine quiet corners and soft furnishings with stimulating play areas, encouraging collaborative play, messy exploration, and the creation of individual games with the provided toys.
Owls/Tylluanod (12 - 24 months)
Our vibrant Owls/Tylluanod room supports our little learners as they grow and develop through a rich array of age-appropriate equipment, toys, and materials. The room's layout encourages exploration, allowing children to move freely between activities and engage in learning across various sections such as the reading nook, and messy play area.
This bright and stimulating environment promotes creativity, fostering both imaginative play and physical development. In alignment with our other rooms, a quiet corner is available for reading, supporting language development in both English and Welsh. This holistic approach ensures a well-rounded and enriching experience for our toddlers.
Badgers/Moch Daear (24 - 36 months)
In our dynamic and engaging Badger Room/Moch Daear, creativity flourishes, fostering both imaginative play and physical development. Consistent with our other spaces, there's a dedicated quiet corner for reading, supporting language development in both English and Welsh. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded and enriching experience for our toddlers, blending play and learning harmoniously.
Nurturing toddlers' growth and exploration, our lively Badger Room offers an array of age-appropriate equipment, toys, and materials. We encourage children to move seamlessly between activities, exploring different sections such as the reading nook and our messy play area.
Foxes/Llwynogod (3-5 Years)
Our eldest children have access to a diverse range of activities within our Foxes/Llwynogod Room, including role-playing, small-world play and messy play, as well as a designated book corner with a wide selection of age-appropriate books. They are motivated to discover the world in ways that relate to them, receiving guidance from our staff to build their confidence and develop a solid understanding of interacting with others and building friendships.

Menus
All of our menus are fully prepared on site by our in-house Nursery Chef, and they are all NHS approved. We have a three week, rotating menu, which can be changed to accommodate any dietary requirements your child may have.
Please feel free to pop into our nursery and pick up a more detailed menu which includes allergen codes. If necessary, please discuss any requirements with our Nursery Manager upon your visit to the nursery.
Merging Teaching and Childcare
We offer a variety of programmes, including care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We also provide flexible before and after school care, with drop off and pick up services to help support families further.
At our The Learning Tree Explorers After School Club, we prioritise the well-being and development of children aged 5 to 12 years, by providing them with the opportunity to learn and socialise in a welcoming and supportive environment. Our highly qualified and experienced staff are dedicated to providing exceptional care for your child.
Diversity is at the core of our programme, offering a range of activities to cater to every child's interests. From energising sports sessions, exploring artistic expression through music and drama, stimulating creativity through arts and crafts, connecting with nature and embarking on trips to local attractions – we have something for everyone to enjoy.
We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our setting. By developing our programmes with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and have created a learning programme that allows our children to enter school seamlessly and thrive throughout.
