benefits from a separate baby room which allows a gradual introduction to nursery life. This homely environment offers a unique opportunities for children to grow and learn surrounded by friends and caring staff who will go the extra mile to meet all the individual needs of children and their parents, so they have a very happy and exciting day. We are constantly striving to meet high standards and our partnership with parents is extremely successful.
Children at kindergarten benefit from a superb outdoor space which supports the ethos of the kindergarten being the children’s garden. Where we recognise that like flowers, children need to to be nurtured to grow.
Our highly- qualified motivated childcare team has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience within the the childcare sector. Both the manager and deputy have experience of Forest school and Beach school practice meaning children have regular exciting opportunities to learn in the natural environment. Encouraging knowledge of the world around them.
Children enjoy a varied menu of healthy home cooked meals. The children and staff sit and eat together in family groups and children are encouraged to help themselves. Staff use this opportunity as a social time, to encourage speech and language, social skills, good role modelling and relationships. The children’s fine motor skills develop as they practice using child sized stainless steel cutlery.
