Our facilities

Playrooms

Our age-specific classrooms are designed to support each stage of your child’s development in a safe, stimulating environment.

Babies (3–16 months): Our baby room offers a warm, nurturing space where the youngest children receive one-on-one care, sensory play, and support for early emotional and physical development.

Toddlers (16 months–2 years): With a focus on language development, motor skills, and social interaction, our toddler room encourages exploration through structured and free play.

2–3 years: This room promotes independence, creativity, and problem-solving through activities that support self-expression and physical development.

Preschool (3–5 years): Our preschool room prepares children for school with a balance of structured learning and child-led discovery, developing key skills in literacy, numeracy, and social confidence.

Children outside gardening

Our garden

Our garden offers a safe, stimulating outdoor space where children can explore their individual interests, play, and learn through hands-on experiences. Linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), it supports physical development, creativity, and curiosity. With access to nature and real-life resources, children enjoy fresh air while developing key skills and building a connection to the world around them.

Community Outings

Our children regularly visit the nearby park, where they can enjoy nature, engage in physical activities, and develop social skills through play. Additionally, we take trips to local shops within the community, encouraging children to learn about their surroundings and experience real-world interactions.
