   I cannot recommend Venture enough. It is the most nurturing environment. The staff show so much care, respect and dedication to every individual child. The approach that Venture takes creates such a calm environment for children to grow and learn. My daughter has grown in confidence and I have also learnt so much from observing how things work at Venture, it is helping me to parent better at home. Venture offers such a unique opportunity for children to be surrounded in nature and to learn vital skills that I have not seen in any other setting.

   I was one of the parents who nominated Venture Kitley (& Hope Cove) for the Pearson Early Years Teaching Awards 2024. Having many years experience both in and in support of schools and provision for children, I was impressed by their vision, their high quality teams, their creative use of all things elemental and their capacity to support children to grow into confident, skilled, lovers of creative play in natural surroundings. The team includes members with a wealth of knowledge and energy. Their inclusion practices are excellent, their support of children with Special Educational and or Disability Needs is heartfelt and joyous and their educative practice is exemplary. They won a Silver Award for their practice and are still in the running for this year’s Gold Award ( decision Gala night 30th November to be televised). We are all very lucky to have such inspirational practice available in our rural locations. If you are thinking of sending your child there, do go to visit. You won’t regret it! Jenny, Zoe, Laura ( in fact all the Lauras) are wonderful. And now our son, with their support, has successfully integrated into his local school, confident, skilled, socially equipped and eager to learn. And he loves being out in all weathers! Let’s celebrate and support them. Their vision builds the children our planet needs.

   Venture has been transformative for our son. We knew he would love it because our daughter did too (she attended until 2020 when she started primary school). Our son has struggled with some childcare settings but he took to Venture like a duck to water and looks forward to Venture every week. His bond with his key worker is clear to see, and we have loved watching him flourish. No other setting that we know of offers such a nurturing environment that fosters independence, curiosity, friendship and resilience. Everyone who works there is really lovely, it is such a unique and special setting and we couldn’t recommend it more!

   Just an amazing opportunity for children to learn in the most natural environment before entering the school system. Jenny and Zoe make every day an adventure and our son loves it.
