High Quality Childcare:

We strive to provide high quality childcare and are rated as an OFSTED Good Provider. You can read our report here.

We aim to reflect the personalised experience that many parents give their children at home. We deliver individualised learning, development and care ensuring children have the freedom to explore and develop their interests and ideas through play; with the opportunity to discover and develop what they can already do. We support every child to make progress at their own pace, in a safe environment that helps them to thrive.

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in it’s own right.

Good parenting and high quality early learning together, provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow (EYFS 2021).
