Our Vision

We provide a safe, comforting environment which is homely and flexible to meet the individual needs of all our children and families.

Babies – Rainbow Room

We have two large airy rooms for our babies, each room can hold 9 children and are adapted for each individual child's age and stage of development. Staff work closely with the pre-birth to three curriculum to support our under twos in these early stages of development.

Toddlers – Sunshine Room

This is a large bright room that leads onto the conservatory where the children can enjoy creative play. This room can hold 17 children and has its own access to the large enclosed back garden. Qualified staff work with all relevant guidance and curriculum to support our toddlers in play experiences to achieve their goals and explore their interests to make sense of the world around them.
