About Us

Welcome Note from Ms. Bernadette King-Turner, Founder & Director of Beautiful Minds Nurseries

Dear Parents,

I hope you find our Nursery website useful and easy to navigate. We know that as busy parents, you have limited time, so we have tried to include all the important information that we think you would like to know about Yellow Brick Road Nursery. If you have any queries or require further information about any particular topic, I am very happy to personally meet with you to discuss these as our center for early learning practice focuses on our commitment to you and your children's emotional, physical and academic wellbeing. At the time of your child's registration you will receive our newly published 'Nursery Family Book of Great Information' - this book is incredibly beautiful and is compiled with all the information we believe you would be interested to read regarding your children's Nursery days.

Yellow Brick Road Nursery is the first of our Beautiful Minds Nurseries schools and we recently and proudly celebrated our 11th anniversary on April 16th, 2012! We are a very special early childhood nursery-environment for children where the rhythm of daily life is gentle and unhurried, where the deep needs of babies and children to create, initiate and imagine freely are unhindered.

We care for babies from 2 months, they will be very well looked after in our special designated baby care nursery area, and after the baby room your toddlers and preschoolers can stay with us in our early development programs until they reach their 5th birthday.

Yellow Brick Road Nursery has a unique and distinctive approach to early learning and preschool education. Our preschool teaching methods are dedicated to creating a genuine love for learning within each child. Our children rely on us, the adults in their lives', not only to protect them from harmful and unhealthy influences, but also to provide an environment in which they are able to develop at their own pace.

The early learning education we offer your preschool children at Yellow Brick Road Nursery school strives to engage and nourish each child's innate curiosity and love of learning. We offer a balance of academic, artistic, and practical activities, so your child receives a wonderful childhood education giving full preparation for life's experiences.

Yellow Brick Road Nursery is purposely designed as a 'child's world' - not an 'adult's world in miniature', therefore, particular care and attention has evoked minute and beautiful details throughout the Nursery to enhance the best of early childhood education in each and every child.

Yellow Brick Road Nurseryl is honoured to have early education qualified and experienced staff whose dedication and sole purpose is to take care of your preschooler's unique learning styles such as preschool math, preschool art and science within our preschool syllabus.

Your child will feel like he/she is in a home away from home as so much thought and expertise has gone into creating such a beautiful, safe and holistic Nursery. Our children are from many countries - at times more than 80 nationalities - this we are proud of as the Nursery is truly a 'United Nations in miniature'!

Yellow Brick Road Nursery offers your child a unique, secure, loving and fun environment filled with experiences, opportunities and activities to help him/her learn and develop.
