Our Nursery is a warm, engaging, and caring environment where children learn through play, exploration, and imagination. We provide high-quality early education that helps every child develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
Children can attend using their universal 15 funded hours, which can be taken as either a morning or afternoon session.
Session times:
Morning session: 8:30 am – 11:30 am
OR
Afternoon session: 12:15 pm – 3:15 pm
Our experienced Early Years team ensures that every session is full of purposeful play, creative activities, and opportunities to explore the world around them.
We work closely with parents and carers to make sure each child’s start to school life is happy and positive.
Please let our admin team know your session preference, sessions will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
