We currently provide care for children placed by the local authority, SENAS, TEDS  aswell as providing places for families entitled to funded education for 2, 3 and 4 year old children. Aswell as this we run full private daycare and morning/afternoon sessions aswell as specialist hours to accommodate your families needs. We have fantastic network links with the  local authority to ensure that the care provided is suitable to all of the children and that all children are meeting their developmental milestones.

We have taken part in a project with Early Excellence based entirely on 2 year old children and the best practice for providing care for them specifically. Our continuous provision has been adapted already as new resources were provided as part of this project; this has enhanced other areas of the nursery.

We work on fundraising projects inviting the local community into the setting and giving parents more chance to become involved in the setting.
