About Language Garden
Language Garden is a bilingual setting offering immersive German and English childcare for 2- to 5-year-olds. For over 11 years, we’ve been passionate about nurturing young learners in our idyllic location, surrounded by beautiful nature.
Founded and led by Anja Ashton, we’re a small team of experienced child carers and deliver our own creative curriculum, designed in line with the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Most of our children have one German-speaking parent, but we welcome families from all backgrounds who value language, culture and nature.

• Are willing to register as a childminder and complete relevant training (we help with this)
