What Makes Us Special

Our outdoor facilities ensure all our children can make the most of the outdoors during their nursery day. The baby garden is the perfect place for babies to explore a new space while enjoying some fresh air, with features such as an outdoor gazebo, planting area, mirrors, and chalk boards encouraging sensory play and discovery. The over 2’s garden offers plenty of opportunities for imaginative and active play, with a race track, water wall, sheltered area, chalk boards, and planting spaces. We place great importance on the opportunity for children to learn and grow in the great outdoors, whatever the weather.

The most perfect setting and environment for my little boy. Since he has started we have seen many positive changes. He is progressing and thriving so well and this would not be possible without the amazing staff. All staff including management are super friendly.

Truly an amazing nursery. My granddaughter is always so excited to go to nursery and talks about all of her teachers with such love. I have had the pleasure of being invited into the setting for grandparents day and the joy staff bring to my granddaughter's day is beautiful.

My child started a year ago and is leaving for school soon. She has loved every second and I can't praise the girls enough. Management are always on hand to help me and she loves the food. Would recommend the nursery to anyone!

💚🧡National Herbs and Spices Day 2025 🪴🍀

Today our Preschool got hands on with nature as we celebrated National Herbs and Spices Day!

They enjoyed taking part in spice painting using a variety of colours and aromas like cinnamon, turmeric, paprika and 5 spice to create their own scented masterpieces.

We also explored a variety of mixed fresh herbs, cutting them, crushing them and feeling and smelling the different textures and scents.

💜"Learning shines brightest when curiosity leads the way" 💜
