Working In Partnership With Parents

Each nursery provides children with a home cooked, nutritious menu prepared by our own chefs on site.

We understand the importance of affordable, high-quality childcare. We offer places under the current government scheme, where children aged 9 months and older may be entitled to 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare per week, depending on eligibility.

Our Foundations

At our nurseries, we nurture curious, confident, and capable children by creating a rich, engaging environment for learning through play, nature, and creativity.

High Quality Provision with Enabling Environments

Each room is thoughtfully designed to support children’s developmental journey throughout the nursery. Our cosy Library and Reading Areas encourage early literacy, promote speech, language, and communication skills, and inspire a lifelong love of books through storytelling, rhyme, and rich conversations. The calming Sensory Room nurtures sensory exploration in a safe, soothing environment. Mealtimes are happy, social occasions, where children share nutritious meals from a well-balanced menu that encourages healthy eating habits and positive social interaction

Care and Attachment

Our key person approach places compassion and attachment at the heart of everything we do, ensuring personalised care and close bonds. Our goal is to create happy, healthy, and thriving children, supported by involved and reassured parents, with strong relationships and open communication at the core of our approach.

Health, Physical and Emotional Wellbeing

We prioritise children’s overall wellbeing. We provide fresh, low-sugar meals and encourage daily physical activity. Our environments foster emotional literacy, teaching empathy and self-regulation. Through our Mini Minds Matter programme, we support children’s emotional resilience, while our outdoor spaces promote physical activity, boosting health and readiness for future learning.

Dedicated, Knowledgeable and Invested Workforce

Our team of passionate educators, including specialist-trained Early Years Teachers, are dedicated to continuous professional development. We hold dedicated training days each year to ensure staff stay at the forefront of early years education. This culture of continuous learning, along with wellbeing support and open collaboration, allows us to consistently provide the highest standards of care and education, ensuring your child thrives.

Outdoor Exploration

We believe in the power of outdoor learning. Children embark on adventures in woodland areas, building independence and confidence through the principles of forest school. Our Forest School sessions immerse the children in nature, fostering exploration and resilience. Even as babies year-round outdoor activities inspire curiosity and a connection with nature.
