Childcare Services
Our age-specific childcare provision caters for children from 3 months to 5 years, with dedicated rooms and qualified practitioners. We implement the Early Years Foundation Stage framework while maintaining flexible, child-centred approaches. Our OFSTED-registered facility combines structured learning with natural curiosity-driven activities across purpose-built indoor and outdoor environments.
Outdoor Learning
Half-acre outdoor spaces enable physical development and environmental exploration through sandpits, mud kitchens, and natural play areas. Our forest school approach encourages risk assessment and sensory learning in natural settings. These spaces support curriculum objectives while promoting physical coordination and social interaction through unstructured play.
Nutritional Provision
Freshly prepared meals and snacks meet all nutritional requirements with daily home-cooked dishes. Our menu accommodates dietary needs while introducing children to varied healthy options. Qualified kitchen staff ensure food safety compliance and provide balanced meals that support children's growth and development throughout the day.
Parent Communication
Daily updates through the Family App provide parents with activity photos and care records. Two daily photographs document children's experiences alongside real-time updates about meals, toileting, and activities. Monthly keyworker calls maintain strong home-educator partnerships and developmental progress discussions.
Staff Development
Continuous professional development ensures staff maintain Level 3+ qualifications and current certifications. Regular training sessions cover safeguarding, first aid, and curriculum implementation. Our nursery manager holds a Level 6 qualification, supporting staff growth through mentorship and skills development programmes.
