We base our programme on the principle of learning through play in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance. We plan and provide meaningful and relevant activities for children of both genders. We aim to nurture children's positive self-image through valuing their opinions; encouraging them to think independently, questioning and developing their own view points.
Children are provided with ample opportunities to build and apply their skills in more practical contexts.

This provision is outstanding. Staff have excellent partnerships with others to support children's learning, such as parents, local schools and children's centres.

My daughter did work experience here and found the staff to be warm and welcoming she couldn't stand the noise level. It's very community cohesion spirited and as such goes the extra mile to look after its clients and families. It has good !Inks with other projects in the estate and is always open to suggestions on how to improve its service.
