Venture Hope Cove ~ Preschool

Nestled away in the timeless fishing village of Hope Cove, near Kingsbridge, this magical outdoor preschool utilises the entirety of the landscape available to us for learning and adventure. 

Exploring Hope Cove

Our preschool children explore beaches, forests, meadows, hills, coastal pathways and even our own special spot in a National Trust woodland for forest school activities, to gather around the campfire and play. The opportunities for rich multi-sensory learning here are endless. 

What Ofsted think of our Hope Cove Preschool

"The quality of education is exemplary. Children flourish in this unique environment where they spend most of their time outside at local woodlands and beaches."

– Ofsted Inspection Report, November 2019.

Venture Hope Cove is Outstanding. Read our latest Ofsted Report here.

This is building a great foundation for his future. I couldn’t feel more blessed, fortunate and grateful to be able to give my son this experience! Thank you so much to all of you, for your hard work, love and support you give my little boy! It’s means the world and more!

No other setting that we know of offers such a nurturing environment that fosters independence, curiosity, friendship and resilience.

I have no doubt that this experience has given her the best platform from which to go forth and explore formal education. You have helped shape and define her perception and understanding of the wider world and thus given her confidence in herself and her ability to form friendships. We shall be forever grateful.
