What makes Canopy Special
Canopy Cooks
Read more
Through our Canopy Cooks initiative, children are encouraged to explore where food comes from and develop a positive, hands-on relationship with healthy eating.From planting tiny seeds to tasting freshly picked produce, children take part in every stage of the journey – learning to grow, pick, prepare and enjoy their own fruit and vegetables as part of everyday nursery life.
Our outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed to include allotment-style planters, creating opportunities for children to observe nature in action and experience the excitement of watching food grow. Whether planting herbs, watering vegetables, or harvesting seasonal produce, children gain a deeper understanding of how food reaches our plates.
Through practical cooking experiences, children are encouraged to explore textures, flavours and healthy choices, while developing important life skills such as independence, confidence and teamwork.
At Canopy Cooks, learning truly happens from seed to spoon – nurturing curiosity, wellbeing and a lifelong appreciation of fresh, nutritious food.
Canopy Code
Read more
Canopy Code is the curriculum we embrace in every Canopy Nursery. Put simply, it is the skills and behaviours we want children to develop to help them feel confident, capable and ready for their next steps. We want our children to become curious explorers, confident communicators, independent learners and inquisitive thinkers.
A key part of the Canopy Code is our commitment to outdoor learning, recognising the vital role that time spent outdoors plays in children’s development and wellbeing. Through meaningful experiences in our garden and outdoor environments, children are encouraged to explore, take managed risks, solve problems, build resilience and develop a deeper connection with the natural world.
With these skills and experiences firmly embedded, children will be fully equipped and ready to take their next exciting step into ‘big school’.
Canopy Cares

Canopy Cares sits alongside the Canopy Code to purposefully cultivate a culture of sustainability and appreciation for the living world. Quite simply, our ethos is caring for each other and the world we live in. We teach children tolerance, respect, and kindness along with a sense of understanding and responsibility for our beautiful planet.
Children are actively involved in caring for the environment and our nurseries have eco committees to help children think about their impact on the natural world.
