Our beautiful new nursery is a warm and inviting space for children aged 2 to 4 years, led by our experienced, qualified teacher, who has a wealth of knowledge and understanding of early childhood development and learning. Supported by a caring, nurturing and skilled team of qualified practitioners, every child is encouraged to grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.

We provide a safe, well-equipped setting where each child’s unique needs and potential are recognised and celebrated. Through a thoughtfully designed early years curriculum, we create engaging activities tailored to individual interests and abilities. Children enjoy a vibrant indoor learning space alongside a fantastic outdoor classroom.  

To ensure a calm and consistent environment for the children currently in our care, we do not offer viewings during the nursery day. We understand that seeing the setting is important, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritise the wellbeing and routine of our little ones.
