We offer full days (8am-6pm) childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years of age. For your convenience we provide an all inclusive service including meals, snacks, milk, nappies and wipes. Parking is available on site. The nursery has bright, airy rooms and a safe and secure environment, our Baby Unit is split into 2 separate rooms so non mobile and mobile babies can have their own areas, the 2-3's room and the Preschool room also have 2 environments to use daily.

Our large garden offers extensive opportunity for outdoor play and learning through its many different areas, such as soft matting area for bike riding and balancing games, herb and vegetable garden, and grass sports area. We are very lucky to have an outdoor classroom at the bottom of out garden and designated mud kitchen area where we can focus on outdoor learning towards our Eco School journey, we current have Green Flag status and continue to renew this each year.

All meals are prepared freshly on site from seasonal ingredients sourced locally, we cater for any dietary requirements and babies have a personalised weaning menu.
