Old School House, Radnor Rd, Cardiff, CF5 1RB
Located in the heart of Canton, right next to Radnor Primary School, our Green Giraffe Organic Day Nursery offers a warm, homely and nurturing environment designed to support children’s wellbeing and natural development. Our beautiful setting sits within a prestigious, residential pocket of Canton/Pontcanna and is just a short stroll from the stunning Thompson’s Park, giving children daily opportunities to enjoy fresh air, movement and nature.
A Calm, Homely Nursery with Outstanding Montessori Resources
Our Canton nursery provides care for up to 21 children, from 6 weeks to 5 years, offering a uniquely intimate and family-centred environment.
Because our setting is smaller than most nurseries in Cardiff, children benefit from:
- A genuinely home-from-home feel
- Exceptional consistency and secure emotional attachments
- Smaller groups for more individual attention
- A calmer pace and unhurried learning
We use high-quality Montessori equipment and natural resources throughout every room, helping children develop independence, confidence, focus and a love of purposeful play.

Montessori-Inspired, Curriculum-Aligned Early Years Education
Our educational approach blends:
- The Montessori philosophy
- The Curriculum for Wales
- Current child development theory
- Our own experience of nurturing emotionally secure, independent learners
Children are supported to follow their own interests, problem-solve, explore hands-on activities, develop practical life skills and build confidence at their own pace. Our environment is carefully prepared to enable children to choose activities freely and engage deeply in meaningful learning.
Outdoor Adventures with Easy Access to Thompson’s Park
Just a few minutes’ walk from the beautiful Thompson’s Park, our Canton children enjoy regular outdoor learning, nature walks and meaningful time in green, inspiring surroundings.
Outdoor learning includes:
- Exploring nature trails
- Creative outdoor play
- Physical movement and confidence building
- Seasonal nature activities

Daily outdoor experiences help children develop resilience, imagination and a lifelong connection with nature.
