Our ethos
Following our bespoke Future Foundations curriculum, we’re passionate about creating the best possible start for every child. We’ve recently expanded our setting to include a bespoke baby room, ensuring our youngest children have a nurturing space designed just for them. Each area of our nursery is thoughtfully set up for specific age ranges, giving babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers experiences that are perfectly matched to their stage of development. Across all our rooms and outdoor spaces, we build on children’s interests to spark their curiosity and support them as they learn and grow.
What it's like

Despite their young age, children are rapidly developing speech and confidently use words to share experiences. They show deep affection for staff and learn to be considerate towards others, demonstrating high levels of self-esteem and confidence.

Inspector highlights
Inclusion & environment
Staff know that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on children's emotional development. Some children find it very difficult to settle at the nursery. Staff are alert to this and ensure that children do not become distressed. Staff build extremely close relationships with families to ensure that children have the right level of support they need to get the very best from their time at the nursery.
Children can decide to eat in the garden on a comfy cushion and pick when and what they eat. The inspector observed the implementation of the curriculum both indoors and outdoors.
