Management provides specific training to help staff gain a deeper understanding of issues around children's behaviours, such as biting, to successfully ensure that they support all children extremely well.

Outdoor space

Whether they are practising their throwing and catching in the garden or exploring the vegetables at the allotment, they play extremely kindly and considerately together. Staff skilfully plan enticing activities in the orchard and allotment. Children are highly motivated to take part and remain engaged for extended periods of time. There are extensive grounds for children to explore, promoting their physical development.
