We aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all our children thereby giving them a strong foundation for their future learning. We will create a safe and happy environment in which everyone is included, respected and valued, so that they may grow in self-esteem and develop to their full potential. We will provide motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident, independent, self disciplined, self-motivated and resilient. We will value the individual child and work alongside parents and others to ensure their needs are met and help every child to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships that we form with the children in our Early Years setting and we inspire a love of learning and independence that will remain with the children throughout their school life!

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 are 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 for morning and afternoon sessions, 8.45am to 11.45am and 12.15pm to 3.15pm.
