The preschool, located in a large church hall with a dedicated outdoor play area, follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, incorporating Christian beliefs while welcoming families from all backgrounds and cultures.

They are committed to inclusivity, providing tailored support for children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities, and boast a highly qualified and experienced team, including a Primary School Teacher and Level 3 Key Persons, many with over 15 years of experience.
