Services
Day Nursery
Our day nursery service offers full-day care for children aged 0-5, operating across two Stratford-upon-Avon locations. Each setting provides structured learning through play, qualified staff supervision, and outdoor activity spaces. Services align with EYFS requirements, ensuring children develop communication, physical, and social-emotional skills in a safe environment.
Early Years Education
Delivered through EYFS-compliant curricula, this service focuses on foundational learning in literacy, mathematics, and creative arts. Our approach combines formal assessments with play-based activities, preparing children for primary school while accommodating individual learning paces and styles.
Outdoor Learning
Outdoor learning forms a core part of our programme, with dedicated garden spaces for physical development and environmental exploration. Children engage in structured outdoor activities that enhance motor skills, teamwork, and sensory experiences while adhering to safety standards.
Individualised Learning Plans
We create tailored learning journeys for each child, tracking progress through regular assessments and parent consultations. These plans focus on personal achievements, address developmental needs, and transition smoothly to primary school settings.
Childcare Funding Support
We accept government-funded childcare entitlements and provide guidance on eligibility criteria. This service ensures accessible high-quality care for families, with transparent processes for claiming available financial support.
