Our ethos

Early Years is my Passion, which is the reason I work ‘hands on’ with Pre School children. It is our duty of care as Early Years Educator, to protect children, making sure they are nurtured, protected and cared for. It is so important to have a genuine interest in each individual child's wellbeing, their development and the understanding of early learning through play.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The nursery is highly inclusive. The special educational needs coordinator has an excellent understanding of her key role. An abundance of initiatives to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language are in place. This helps to ensure that any gaps in attainment between them and their peers are rapidly closed.

Outdoor space

Pre-school children benefit greatly from plenty of fresh air and exercise in all weathers. They take manageable risks and delight in carefully negotiating a physical obstacle course outside in the pouring rain. Pre-school children like natural exploration in the forest area. They delight in combining materials to make "sticky gunk" and digging freely with shovels. They also love birdwatching and finding insects to study.
