What it's like

The pre-school places children's needs first and foremost; staff warmly welcome children, support new children to settle, and build close, nurturing relationships. The curriculum prioritises independence and social development, and staff make careful assessments and work with parents and other professionals to provide tailored support so all children, including those with SEND, make good progress.

Pricing & funding

Fees are charged on an hourly basis, with an additional daily fee applied for snacks. The nursery supports a wide range of workplace voucher schemes and accepts university childcare grants.
