Ready for their next adventure

Play today.
Grow for tomorrow.

Our shared toddler and preschool room offers children aged two to five a happy, active and safe environment where learning begins with play.

Maximum fun, plenty of choice

Children explore well-chosen toys, books, equipment and activities in our inside and outside areas. Child-initiated play is blended with activities supported by our team, giving children opportunities to discover at their own pace.

Free-flow play encourages children to make choices, follow their interests and try new things.

Learning that follows your child

Our planning is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage. We observe, plan and support learning in a way that reflects each child’s development, interests and needs.

The three prime areas are communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. Children also explore literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design.

Explore our approach to learning

Their key person and learning journey

Your child’s key person helps them settle in, plans for their learning, observes their development and supports your questions as a parent or carer.

We share feedback about your child’s day verbally, and record their development in an individual learning journal. A progress check is also carried out between the ages of two and three.

Getting ready for school

When school is approaching, we help your child prepare for the transition. We share information about their development with your chosen school to support a smooth next step.

A visit is a chance to look around, talk about your child’s interests and ask questions about nursery life.
