We pride ourselves on working in partnership with you as parents to enhance the beginning of your child's educational journey.
The ethos of our pre-school is to offer a welcoming and caring environment to all children, and their families in our local community. We aim to provide all children with the opportunity to experience outstanding quality learning and childcare experiences that inspire and nurture. We build upon children's curiosity and teach them to be kind, to embrace and celebrate differences and develop the ability to collaborate to have fun.
We offer a bespoke curriculum which takes into account each individual child's needs and our team of highly experienced and qualified staff support your child to thrive and learn through their interests using our vast array of toys and resources. We operate a key person system so you will have two members of staff to support your child. They will assess your child’s development and educational attainment upon joining us. They will then plan enriching, fun activities and experiences to ensure your child is continually learning. These plans are evaluated regularly which leads to a continual cycle of progression. We know that parent’s are the main educators so we will meet with you regularly to ensure your views and wishes are incorporated into the plans. You have continual access to your child’s learning journal. We welcome parents into our setting to share expertise, knowledge and interests. As a charity, we also welcome parents to join our committee which the perfect way to meet new friends.
