Die Wichtelwiese nursery – arrive feeling safe and secure – discover the world

Die Wichtelwiese in St. Leon-Rot is a family-run nursery run by Waldwichtel St. Leon-Rot e.V. with space for up to 20 children in two groups. In the lovingly renovated rooms of the old vicarage, we provide attentive and individual care for children in their early years.

Our everyday educational activities are characterized by experiences in nature, a focus on bonding, and participation. The children spend a lot of time outside in our spacious outdoor area, experience independence in everyday life, and are allowed to actively participate in shaping their daily routine at the nursery.

The settling-in period is based on the Munich model, so that each child can build trust in their new environment at their own pace. A particular advantage is our close cooperation with our Waldwichtel kindergartens: the transition from nursery to kindergarten can be accompanied internally and in a familiar environment. In line with our principle of “staff instead of materials,” we attach great importance to a good staff-to-child ratio and individual support for each child. We also offer every child a hot lunch.
