They cater to children from birth up to 5 years old, additionally offering an out-of-school club for children up to 11.

The nursery prides itself on providing fresh, nutritious meals prepared on-site in its commercial kitchen, which holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, and a rotating menu aimed at fostering healthy eating habits.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is exemplary. Extremely knowledgeable staff have an astute understanding of children's individual needs and celebrate the uniqueness of each child. Staff's extremely well-considered interventions and robust partnership working with other professionals ensure that any gaps in children's learning are swiftly addressed, so all children are able to excel from their starting points.

Outdoor space

The report mentions that the inspector observed the quality of the education provided, both indoors and outdoors, but does not provide specific details about the outdoor space or how children use it. However, it does state that children participate in 'parktastic' weekly, an activity at the local park where they learn about 'stranger danger', dog safety, using swings safely, and managing potential risks.
