From birth to 5 is when our children are shaped into the people they will become so it's vital young children get a good start in life. All our children get an excellent start in life through our Outstanding rated (2012 & 2015, 2020) delivery of the OFSTED Early Years Curriculum.

Our team are warm, caring, enthusiastic and highly qualified; they know our children well and provide planned, well structured, varied and exciting play with kind encouragement and support.We play and learn everyday in fun, exciting ways, and develop important social skills for school and life.
Services
Our children spend their time with caring and gentle adults who are fun to be around and who genuinely love being with them. Our nursery staff know all the children really well. All our staff are well qualified for their role. Everyone is trained in first aid and safeguarding.

All our staff are encouraged and supported in further training in general childcare and in more specialised areas such as Special Educational Needs and also in practical skills like food hygiene.I've been manager here since 2006. Over time I've created a fantastic, very capable, highly motivated and supportive senior management team who are all passionate about giving your child the very best standards in childcare.
We take babies from 5 weeks up to about 18 months. Each baby has their own key worker who will get to know them well and fit in with their individual routine and personal care needs. We know parents have their own routines at home for their babies so your baby can have sleeps, feeds, cuddles and play time when your baby wants it.
Our lower preschoolers are developing emergent language and starting to string together short sentences. They're making sense of the world around them, starting to focus their interests, starting to build those all important friendships and learning how to manage their feelings and behaviour. We explore all sorts of play both indoors and outdoors.
Our policies and procedures cover everything required by Ofsted and more. All our team are fully trained on them when they start working for us and every month we do team training which includes reviewing these policies and procedures. We have enhanced DBS checking of all our employees including the nursery cooks and nursery caretakers and Employee References are properly checked so we know who we are employing.
Young babies are learning to develop physical skills such as grasping, holding, rolling and sitting up for crawling.

Through well-planned play, careful use of resources and loving encouragement they develop their coordination and learn how to grasp toys, stack cups and knock them down, sit up, crawl and explore in a safe environment with lots of different stimulation each day, ranging from song time to messy play and rummaging for interesting items to feel and chew on in treasure baskets.Caring adults will quickly develop bonds with your baby.

I can highly recommend this nursery/Pre School, I still remember going for a visit before Jack was born and signing him up knowing it was going to be the best place for him and we weren’t wrong! From the baby room, to the Toddler room and then Lower and Upper Pre school, the staff were amazing, Rebecca was fantastic with the transition into Lower Pre School, and Richard has been an absolute star with Jack in Upper Pre School, we've seen Jack’s confidence grow and finally feel like he is actually ready for big school, this is definitely down to Richard and the staff at the pre school, this has

My daughter was in the toddler room, but also interacted with the baby room and the pre-schoolers and I feel the nursery is excellent in every respect. They were very helpful and attentive to my daughters particular needs. The staff were friendly, approachable and left me with no worries when leaving my daughter.
One morning my daughter had slept through lunch so when I collected her after her morning session they had saved it for me to take home for her, so I can honestly say I’ve seen the food and that too is of an extremely high standard (which was quickie polished off when we got home).
