Notes

The babies have their own rooms consisting of a large open plan play room, a sleep room and a room for messy play and meals.

 The equipment in the baby room has been chosen carefully to ensure it is appropriate for their age.

Our Toddler rooms have lots of space, allowing the toddlers to express themselves through their play, these rooms are spacious and light.

There is a fenced garden area at the rear of their rooms which enables an open door policy here the children have the opportunity to use the outdoor and indoor areas equally (at all times supervised).

Pre-school have four rooms available to them, their facilities include IT, quiet, imagination and activity areas; sand play and arts and crafts. They have a separate dining area and have direct access to the outdoor area and in the summer an open door policy.

Our spacious garden is used by the children to grow flowers, runner beans, potatoes, strawberries and pumpkins.
