We are based in a purpose built setting which has spacious and well stocked indoor play area, kitchen, secure outside play areas for outdoor games and bike riding. We also have use of a large field, wildlife area and vegetable patch all within the security of the school grounds.

We aim to enhance the development and education of your child in a safe and happy environment. Our commitment is to enable children to explore opportunities through play, which will support their social, emotional, intellectual and physical development.

• Our aim is to offer your child;
• A secure and welcoming place where they can learn through play.
• A wide range of activities within a planned curriculum, which lead towards government approved early learning goals.
