The opening hours are 9am to 3pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, and 9am to 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The day nursery accepts government funding for two, three and four-year-olds.

A lending library and story listening are used to encourage reading. Children develop physical skills outdoors on bikes and indoors with tools.

What it's like
Children eagerly enter this welcoming pre-school, where staff greet them warmly and choose how to say goodbye to their parents at the 'waving window' before settling into play. Staff plan their curriculum well, introducing new words and mathematical concepts, such as 3D shapes and counting, to ensure children make progress. Children play cooperatively, share well, and understand the need to wait their turn, developing patience and respect for others.
