Services
We provide an education appropriate to the needs of three and four year olds. It contributes to the physical growth, to the social and emotional experience and to the aesthetic and intellectual development of each child. We do not see nursery education merely as a preparation for more formal schooling.
It is our policy to provide healthy, nutritious food in school & to make children aware of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet. A meal is served in the middle of the day in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. The meal is served by the four full-time members of staff who each sit with a group of children and eat with them.
