EAL / language support

Staff provide experiences to benefit all children's communication and language development skills well. For instance, staff help children who speak English as an additional language to enjoy and learn through rhyming experiences. This benefits children's early language skills.

They hold dance classes on Sunday evening. Very friendly staff and a nice way to meet people. There is a bar at the venue which is open and much appreciated, especially when the weather is hot.
