Services
Baby Unit
Our baby unit provides a safe, stimulating environment for infants aged 6 months to 2 years. Two dedicated rooms feature sensory play areas, treasure baskets, and outdoor access. Staff deliver individualised care with regular feeding updates and developmental tracking. The space encourages early exploration while maintaining a homely atmosphere with plenty of physical comfort.
Toddler Rooms
Designed for 2-3 year olds, our toddler rooms balance structured learning with free play. Age-appropriate resources develop motor skills and social interaction. Small group settings help children form first friendships while staff support emerging independence through guided activities and creative expression.
Pre-School
Our pre-school prepares children for formal education through a balanced curriculum. Adult-led and child-initiated activities develop literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills. The program emphasizes self-regulation, cooperation, and environmental awareness within a secure space that encourages curiosity and confidence.
Curriculum Development
We implement a child-centred curriculum aligned with Development Matters and Birth to 5 Matters guidelines. Baseline assessments and tracking booklets monitor progress across all developmental areas. Regular parent meetings ensure continuity between home and nursery experiences while our local authority partnership maintains educational standards.
Outdoor Play Areas
Secure outdoor areas cater to all age groups with designated play zones. Features include climbing equipment, sensory gardens, and nature trails. Daily outdoor sessions promote physical development and environmental awareness. The space supports both structured activities and free exploration in a safe, supervised environment.
