We love the nursery, our little girl settled so well due to staff and has now been attending for over a year. Staff and management are friendly, helpful and great with all the children. Our little girl has learnt so much and is developing well, thanks to the staff. I would have recommended the nursery. It’s not the cheapest in the area, but definitely the right nursery for us.
My Daughter started in September and she absolutely loves it. She’s so happy to go in the mornings and adores the staff. Can’t thank the staff enough with helping her settle, especially the toddler room staff. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.
From the moment I walked into the nursery, I knew this was the right one for my child. It’s a very friendly, homely environment and all the staff and management are incredibly good. The managers made me feel at ease and my son settled very quickly. My son is happy here and I know he is in trusted hands. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Our nurseries offer a wide range of nursery activities and extras to enrich every child’s experience at nursery and to support busy parents.
We believe that reading should be lots of fun, so we run a mini-library service to encourage children to share their favourite stories with their parents, and to help busy parents keep the bookshelf engaging at home! Our nurseries organise regular library visits as part of the learning process.
Our nurseries provide an extensive range of resources to encourage children to learn through play. We favour naturalistic learning resources and make fantastic use of our outdoor equipment, promoting free-flow and child-led learning.
Taking part in fundraising activities helps children to learn about others that are less fortunate than themselves and to understand how we can help them. Fundraising events are good fun and are a great way to bring children, families and communities together. Some of the fundraisers we have taken part in are: sponsored toddles, superhero days, baking cakes to sell and garden parties. Read about our Red Nose Day 2022 events here.
We celebrate the big move to primary school with a special graduation ceremony each year – caps, gowns, the works!

We make use of our wonderful outdoor spaces and forest areas by encouraging children at our nurseries and Out of School Care clubs to plant, grow and tend to fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs throughout the year.
Our nurseries offer free settling-in sessions. Parents can bring their child for a couple of hours first, gradually introducing the child to a new environment. Settling-in sessions are aimed at helping your child to adapt to their new surroundings and become more familiar with the staff and other children.
Our E-Learning journals and Parent Zone app allow you to see your child’s activities at nursery with the click of a button. Staff upload images and notes about your child’s participation in activities at nursery for you to access wherever you are. Our nursery tablets offer exciting and stimulating learning experiences tailored to challenge and engage little ones.
