Our aim is to encourage the development of your child in a happy, relaxed and warm environment. We aim to ease the initial transition from home to nursery and then to primary school by gradually challenging your child's abilities, through stimulating play. We have a vibrant indoor play space that was designed by us with young children in mind and a large, walled garden, which we use every day. All our activities are based around a child's age and stage of development and their current interests.
