Hygge In The Early Years
At Sarah’s Little Stars, the Hygge approach is at the heart of how we create a calm, nurturing, home-from-home environment for children in their early years. Inspired by the Danish way of living, Hygge focuses on comfort, connection and wellbeing — helping children feel safe, relaxed and happy as they learn and grow.
Why Parents Love the Hygge Approach
The Hygge approach supports children’s emotional wellbeing, independence and love of learning — creating calm, happy children who feel confident and cared for every day.
A Calm, Homely Environment
Hygge is all about creating a warm, cosy space where children feel secure and valued. Soft furnishings, calm routines and a relaxed atmosphere help children settle quickly and feel truly at home in our setting.
Hygge Fridays (and Every Day!)
One of the children’s favourite parts of our week is Hygge Friday, where we bake sweet or savoury treats together to enjoy at snack time or take home to share with family. Baking isn’t limited to Fridays though — if the mood strikes, why not bake any day of the week?
Time to Connect & Unwind
Being a home-from-home setting allows us to slow down and enjoy meaningful moments together. We love snuggling up on the sofa, taking turns choosing stories, and sharing thoughts about our day — building confidence, communication and emotional wellbeing.
Nature & Outdoor Exploration
Hygge encourages being at one with nature. We take time to explore the woodland areas and local flowers around us, helping children develop a love for the outdoors. Many children learn to identify birds and flowers, supporting curiosity, mindfulness and early understanding of the natural world.
