Our toddler unit is bright and spacious with direct access to an equipped outdoor area especially for our under three’s.

Our scaled down outdoor equipment enables children to experience various aspects such as self esteem, self confidence, behavior and self control. Encouraging play in a secure homely environment with high adult/child ratios allows the children to explore, investigate and enjoy the learning experience.

We help them to practice and develop ideas, concepts and skills in a unique and non-threatening way, without fear of failure.

The indoor environment is created to encourage children to learn individually and with others through play. We offer our children a play-based curriculum, which meets all the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and supports all aspects of their learning and development.

It supports their inbuilt curiosity and desire to make sense of the world around them and helps them to discover that learning is interesting and fun. This is vitally important if children are going to remain keen learners for the rest of their lives.

A key person approach is the most effective way of ensuring that children have a strong relationship with an adult in the nursery to support their emotional well being. Our staff work in a friendly homely environment and this creates a natural atmosphere that leads to children and adults forming good relationships and bonds.


We believe that children learn first from their parents and that it is important to carry this through into our nurseries. Each parent will complete a Getting to Know You paper sharing the little special things that will help nursery staff to understand and get to know their child.

A Daily diary will be shared with you about your child’s experiences. An adjacent sleep room offers a quiet and comfortable atmosphere for our developing youngsters to have that all important nap/sleep during their day along with nappy changing facilities.
