We operate with three classrooms in a self contained extension to a private family home.

A maximum 47 children attend all of whom share access to a secure [enclosed] outdoor play area. The nursery is based in an idyllic countryside setting which we take full advantage of and in which we have great pride.

Our opening times are from 7:30am till 6pm for 51 weeks of the year for children from 3 months to 5 years.

We have three units within our nursery:

Baby Unit – 3 months to 18mths/2years

Toddler Room – 18mths/2 years to 3 years

Pre-School unit for children aged 3 – 5 years

We pride ourselves on the children having a happy, but fulfilled day, with each room having their own routine, following the E.Y.F.S (Early Years Foundation Stage) system who we work very closely with to maintain the birth to five curriculum, which is running very smoothly.
