About this day nursery

The dedicated team of 12 childcare staff, with 11 holding level 3 or above qualifications, ensures that children receive personalised care and education. The pre-school excels in fostering independence, perseverance, and communication skills, with children confidently engaging in back-and-forth conversations and demonstrating a strong love of reading.

Special attention is given to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who receive robust support from early identification through to bespoke care and education.
