Our philosophy is that every child we care for deserves a calm, caring, safe and stimulating environment in which to learn. Taking care of our staff's wellbeing is of prime importance to us and we are proud to have been voted the 14th best place to work in the whole of the UK. We adhere to our registration on the Ofsted Early Years Register.
This monitors the overall quality standards of the early years provision in line with the principles and requirements of the 'Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage'. Our main aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can learn through play. Your first settling in sessions will give you and your child an opportunity to get to know your child's key person.

We incorporate all seven areas of learning into the early years curriculum, ensuring the children have a well prepared, inviting, and stimulating environment. Staff provide a range of activities to cater for children's individual interests and development needs, working towards the Early Years' Outcomes - Early Learning Goals, across all areas of the curriculum.
Our approach goes above and beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to foster deep level learning and optimise potential. Children today, have an ever-growing curiosity about the outside world, where foods come from and how they grow. Garden Champions is our own bespoke gardening activity.
This activity extends children's knowledge of the outdoor environment, habitats, caring for living things, growth cycles and growing vegetation outdoors.Our Garden Champion activities are an effective method of harnessing our children's curiosity in this area and shaping their understanding of the world around them.

Good nutrition is essential during childhood, as it is a time of rapid growth, development and activity. This is also a vital time for healthy tooth development and prevention of decay. General eating habits and patterns are formed in the first few years of life.
A nutritious diet, together with good hydration, provides your child with good eating habits for life, healthy skin, a healthy weight, secure emotional well-being, and improved behaviour.The nursery staff have a key role in introducing young children to a wide variety of foods and establishing a pattern of regular meals and healthy snacks.

This Nursery standard of care is very poor. Very under staffed. Its not a safe place for your children parents!!! Parents are lied to about what causes their children injuries. Management is disgraceful. Is not a place you want your children to be. Their resources are very poor. Parents don't place your child in this establishment. Current parents please start to ask questions about staffing and their resources.

All a load of fake smiles and lies. The majority of incidences are down to their negligence, not your kid being clumsy. Keep seeing 1 girl alone with 7-8 babies, while the room leader (who is the only other staff based there) is off fannying around. The kids are definitely not given enough water through out the day. I have witnessed the same room leader leaving her colleague alone to b*tch about another member of staff in front of the kids. It explains why shes barely able to tell you what happened throughout the day because shes not flippin in there. They need to pick more experienced room leaders
