High quality Early Years Education

Outdoor Learning

We take full advantage of our garden area beside the church, and play out in all weathers with our UV/Waterproof sail shades and spare wet weather wear.

Once a week we visit our local care home during the morning and spend time interacting with our elderly friends, singing, playing and laughing!

We plan regular trips outdoors, including walking to the local parks or shops, travelling on the bus to visit the Victoria Art Gallery, visiting the community chickens at the allotment, and exploring our local environment whilst on a minibeast hunt!
Parent Review June 2021
"Best nursery I could have ever chosen & I leave my son there every session knowing he is safe & happy. It’s small & has a lovely family feel to it. My son has additional needs & they are amazing with him. The care, the support, the professionalism and the knowledge & skills from the staff are incredible. My son looks forward to going every morning & even at night when he doesn’t want to go to bed- as soon as I tell him he has nursery in the morning, he then jumps into bed with a smile on his face. I get updates everyday & frequent meetings on his development. This nursery is flexible but also goes that extra mile for the parent as well as the child & nothing is a problem to them. My son has developed so much & its thanks to them he has come such a long way."


Parent Review April 2016
"Best preschool in the area. Such great staff (can't emphasise that enough! The whole team are great with little ones and parents alike!) and a lovely building/garden/allotment for the children to run around in. A nurturing environment where they can safely learn independence from parents in a loving and organised environment. My 2yr old DD started in Jan. We couldn't be happier."
