Happy

We strive to make nursery a happy place – where each child has fun, feels at home, and is confident to let their personalities shine – because this enables them to thrive and build strong foundations for their future.

Families welcome

Families welcome

From relaxed, fun social activities to accessing our network of expert advice, we welcome you to get to know us and other families, enhancing your child’s sense of belonging. Lasting Parent Partnership award holders, and twice joint winners of Nursery World’s Working with Parents award, our collaborative approach has been recognised nationally.

Open communication

We welcome your input.  Day to day contact with your child’s key worker, facilitates a special bond between them and your family.  Our parents’ app enables convenient two way communication. For example, sharing your child’s latest interests, activities, progress or ideas to try at home. Parents’ evenings are an opportunity to focus on development and next steps.

Community connection

Exploring our local communities enables the children to connect with their local area, enhancing their sense of belonging.  Our fun, first hand learning experiences range from participating in community activities, to visiting local landmarks, events, parks, libraries, nursing homes or shopping locally.

Nurturing team

One of the most important influences on children’s wellbeing at nursery are the people caring for them.  Our team, holders of 26 national awards, have the expertise, training, and resources to deliver the latest best practice.  From listening and involving children in open ended activities where they help to determine the result, to developing exciting activities that reflect each child’s interests, development goals and individual needs, they ensure that children feel nurtured and valued.
