The Broadway, Bexleyheath
Enchanted Wood Preschool ‘The Broadway’ opened in 2018. This site has recently undertaken it’s ‘Hygge’ accreditation and fully embraced the Hygge ethos (pronounced hue-guh), which is an attitude to life, focusing on living in the moment and feeling the joy in everyday routines and activities. It is about the togetherness as a group at preschool, and the cosy warmth you feel being part of a preschool community, offering the children a sense of security and well-being. The preschool space promotes emotional well-being, togetherness, and friendship. It is a place where children, can feel comfortable to snuggle down or explore with confidence.
The Broadway is a term time only preschool running sessions every day except a Thursday afternoon. We are based within the grounds of Christ Church Bexleyheath, a short walk from the town centre.

The environment and atmosphere are calm and homely with cosy cushions and soft lighting, calm tranquil music is played during mealtimes, and children and adults take part in yoga and mindfulness together. Children are able to access the whole nursery freely without restrictions and on average spend 80% of the day exploring outside, making mud pies, cooking over the fire pit climbing trees to name just a few, children take part in weekly forest school session held locally, where they explore and play in natural world around them safely taking risks and developing first-hand experience in streams and woodlands. Children also have access to the atelier where they freely create masterpieces with the support of a local artist and art teacher.
