Our nursery team is passionate about helping all our children blossom in confidence, friendships and language. We strive for the very best learning in a caring environment and have fun while we're doing it!
You, our families, are an important part of the team and we are committed to working in partnership with you to ensure that your children have the most positive start to their education. Our friendly and welcoming nursery is alive with the sound of giggles and hands on exploration and learning. The team build on the children's natural curiosity for the world. We prepare them to be engaged and resilient, happy and excited to come to nursery and onto big school.

Whilst your child is in our Early Years (Nursery and Reception), we collect observations to help us assess their development and to inform our planning.
We use an online app called Tapestry to record photos and written comments about your child's learning. Parents can access the journal by downloading it onto their phone, tablet or computer. It enables us to share photos, videos and comments with parents on a weekly basis and enable parents to to contribute to your child’s journal making the assessment process a shared record.
