About Us
A Nurturing & Caring Environment For Your Child
At Nature’s House, we believe that for a young child, everything is filled with wonder. Curiosity lies at the heart of learning, and children naturally absorb the world around them as they explore, question, and discover.
Our mission is to offer an exceptional early learning experience within a thoughtfully prepared and nurturing environment. Guided by experienced and caring educators, we support each child’s natural interests, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and a genuine love for discovery.
Every aspect of our programme is carefully designed to support children’s emotional, intellectual, and physical development. Through hands-on experiences, meaningful play, and a warm, supportive atmosphere, children gain the confidence and skills they need to thrive while enjoying every moment of the journey.
At Nature’s House Preschool, we build on each child’s unique strengths and interests, fostering independence, exploration, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Our programme includes:
- Language and early literacy development
- A strong foundation in early mathematics
- Social and emotional growth
- Creative expression
We invite you to join us in giving your child a warm, inspiring, and enriching start to their learning journey.

Tanya Jordaan
After completing a B.A. in Fine Arts at the University of Cape Town, my career began in community development, with a focus on arts, culture, and heritage. Becoming a mother to my two daughters, however, sparked a deep passion for Early Childhood Development, leading me to follow a new and meaningful path in education.
In 2016, I began my journey as an ECD practitioner at Stepping Stones Montessori School, working with children aged 3 to 6 years. Over time, I grew into the role of Head of Preschool, deepening my understanding of child-led learning and development.
As a qualified Foundation Phase teacher, I always envisioned creating a nurturing space for toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years. A place where young children could explore, learn, and truly thrive. Today, that vision lives on through Nature’s House Preschool.
I believe that early childhood is where the magic truly begins, a vital stage in laying the foundation for lifelong learning. Children learn best through sensory experiences, creativity, play, and exploration, and I am passionate about offering an environment where they are free to discover, create, and find wonder in the world around them.

With a natural gift for caring for young children, she has been working as a dedicated childminder since 2014, bringing warmth, patience, and a nurturing presence to every child she supports.
Phumla has been like a second mother to my own daughters, and her gentle, compassionate nature creates a calm and comforting environment where children feel safe and cared for. She is fluent in isiXhosa and naturally introduces the children to the language through simple words, songs, and everyday interactions—enriching their early language development in a meaningful way.
