Our Nursery provides a caring, safe and stimulating environment that caters for all children aged between birth – five years, and families regardless of personal circumstances. All families are welcome to use the nursery; with a fee structure in place that enables parents to access excellent quality childcare that is affordable.
All of our children, including those with Special Educational Needs are given every opportunity to excel to the best of their ability. Nursery staff are able to work alongside the other professionals who are involved with a child to ensure every outcome for all the children within our setting.
Our Nursery staff, parents and carers are held in high esteem and together we can build a relationship to enable each staff member, child and family to reach and develop to their own full potential.
