Recognised by Ofsted in June 2022 as a "wonderful place for children to start their educational life," the day nursery operates with a strong focus on core values.

These values, encompassing Belonging, Resilience, Independence, Nurture, Growth, and Respect, guide their approach to childcare and learning. The school is open Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, with the school office handling enquiries between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.

They are dedicated to supporting children's development and readiness for reception, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for all attendees.

Our ethos

Our Core Values are Belonging, Resilience, Independence, Nurture, Growth, and Respect. These values underpin our approach to providing a supportive and enriching start to a child's educational life.

What it's like

Children arrive happily and settle quickly into familiar routines, feeling secure with the staff who care for them. They form warm relationships and move confidently between activities, showing that they feel safe. They enjoy learning and take part with enthusiasm, exploring the garden looking for butterflies or pouring and emptying containers. Children benefit from a carefully planned curriculum that supports them to build successfully and consistently on what they know and can do, developing early writing skills and physical strength through active play. Consistent support helps those facing barriers to learning, including children with SEND and EAL, to grow in confidence and integrate into group activities.

My sister went hèr ìn the 70s & it's still open now. My granddaughter goes there now. It's a great nursery for ages 2-4yrs. The teachers are mostly friendly. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who has kids aged 2-4yrs.
