The early years are the most important and supporting children to thrive and develop throughout this time gives them a positive start for the future and prepares them for their next journey.

What it's like

Children arrive happy, having formed strong bonds with dedicated and caring staff. Before children start, staff invest time getting to know them and their families, resulting in children entering the setting ready to engage in their learning. Staff use the story 'The Colour Monster' to help children understand how they are feeling.
