Our nursery provides a warm, caring and fun environment where children aged 2 to 4 years can learn, explore and grow through play.
Our experienced and friendly staff create exciting opportunties each day - from messy play and outdoor adventures to early maths, stories and creative activities. We help children develop confidence, independence and a love of learning that prepares them for school and beyond.
We work closely with families to make sure every child feels happy, safe and supported. Together, we celebrate each child's achievements and help them take those important first steps on their learning journey.

Key information:
Every Tuesday, P.E will be led by Mrs Barclay. Nursery children will not need to get changed for P.E.
Every Wednesday morning, the 3-4 year olds will take part in forest school alongside the Reception class. Please make sure children are provided with wellies and suitable clothing which you do not mind getting muddy!
Children will bring home a bedtime story book every week for you to enjoy with your child. Reading has such a big impact on your child's learning experience and we love to encourage a natural love of reading and therefore appreciate your support in reading with your child at home.
