Additional Information

Whilst at our Nursery your child will have the opportunity to spend their time inside or outdoors. We have a great outdoor space that includes a garden, a playhouse, sand and water play tables, bikes and trikes and so much more. As we will be part of the main school we will also be able to use the excellent new facilities some of these include access to Receptions outdoor area and resources, Wellies and Waterproofs area, allotment, the halls, dance studio, library, food tech and sensory room. We appreciate that selecting the right early years environment can be a daunting task and we are delighted that you are exploring the possibility of sending your child to our Nursery. We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to, who knows them and their parents well and who can meet their individual needs and we will endeavour to provide this important home – nursery link in our setting. Parents can use their Early Education funding entitlement at any time during opening hours.
