Our Nursery Practitioners are committed to providing an exceptional learning experience for every child. Our dedicated facility and unique environment provide endless opportunities for each child to explore, discover and learn at their own pace.
Each child has a key-person, this is a specific member of the team who will plan activities for your child and will be able to speak with you at the end of the day. The key-person will also share information via Tapestry; an online platform our Nursery Practitioners and families use to share photos and information about your child's time at nursery and pre-school. You can expect to receive fortnightly updates and photos from your child's key-person.

There are countless opportunities for children to play; supporting their development, a sense of adventure and sparking their imagination. We make sure every child is able to express their own interests and play is both purposeful and rewarding. Our Nursery Practitioners will provide a range of challenging and enjoyable activities through a mix of child led and adult focused play. We continually review the environment and make sure children have the resources to be inspired, creative and curious.
