What it's like

Leaders and staff create an environment that children enjoy accessing. Babies and toddlers happily look in the mirror while staff engage them in a game of peekaboo, learning about their sense of self and the world around them. Older children learn how to care for themselves, including dental hygiene, and develop key skills for writing through activities that build on their existing knowledge.

Pricing & funding

The nursery charges additional fees for optional swimming activities. This includes a per-session fee that covers swimming lessons and transport, alongside individual costs for achievement badges and certificates.
