Our Approach
We provide a secure and welcoming environment that creates the space and comfort needed to allow children to enjoy developing and growing in their own capabilities and confidence. We aim to provide local communities with high-quality childcare to all, regardless of race, sex, culture or special needs and disabilities.
Outdoor Learning
Our large engaging garden is well-resourced, offering wonderful physical opportunities. Attributes such as resilience, self-esteem and confidence are all promoted through outdoor play and have a positive impact on children’s overall wellbeing. Children often feel free in outdoor space and more at ease with themselves.
