Nurseries

Our nurseries are where our children begin their journey, learning through play and understanding our 5 core values of respect, independence, wellbeing, creativity and teamwork.

Positive development

There is a flying start to education in our nurseries. The children begin to form the building blocks for successful learning.

_{“Children make a flying start in the effective early years provision. Early years leaders are ambitious for all. Staff work to deliver leaders ambition with skill and enthusiasm. They encourage children to make the most of the learning opportunities provided. Positive relationships underpinthe high expectations staff have for children.”
(Ofsted, 2023)}

Tadpoles

Tadpoles welcomes children from the term after they turn 2, offering an exciting, educational, and fun environment. We nurture adventure and sensory skills while preparing early learners for school and independence.

Frogs

Frogs, for those turning 4, is alongside Reception classes, helping them transition. By July, they're ready to move, having learnt through play, started phonics, reading, and writing via Read, Write Inc. They also enjoy 2 outdoor areas.

Working Together

Our nurseries work closely alongside the Reception team to ensure consistency and a quality provision. Children become familiar with staff across the EYFS provision easing transitions when they start school.

Children in
Safe Hands

We believe in giving our children the best possible start to school life and are invested in developing a skillful and passionate Early Years team of staff to guide and support your child through their Nursery and Foundation years.
