Parents
Satisfied
The parents love our service, and the one-to-one attention we provide for the their children.
Learn
The nursery works with parents-to-be, parents, carers and children to promote the physical, intellectual and social development of babies and young children through the National Sure Start objectives by improving social and emotional development, improving health and improving children’s ability to learn.
Play
Through the provision of a structured environment using good quality equipment as well as creative and caring staff, we endeavour to ensure that your child’s needs are met. Observations will be made of your child during play and social times, to build up a picture of his/her needs and interests. This knowledge will be used to inform our activity planning, to ensure that we are meeting the needs of all children.
Rest
The nursery caters for children’s individual needs for rest and quiet activities during the day. Cots are provided for babies, and rest mats are available for toddlers at rest and sleep times. Encouraging older toddlers to sleep on rest mats helps them to develop an understanding of the sleep time routine and supports parents and carers working towards a good bed time routine and sleeping in a bed at home.

Our After School Club runs every afternoon during the school term (excluding bank holidays and school inset days). The children are collected from their schools by members of staff, who are clearly identifiable in our uniform and ID badges. Our Afterschool club starts from 3.00pm to 6.00pm.
When the children arrive at the club setting, they are offered a light tea, before participating in any of the various activities on offer.
