Services
Early Years Education
We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum through structured play-based learning. Our qualified team creates individualised development plans for children aged 2-5, focusing on communication, physical development, and social skills. Regular progress assessments ensure each child achieves key milestones in a supportive environment.
Forest School Programme
Our Level 3 Forest School Leader facilitates nature-based education in our woodland area. Children engage in den-building, bug discovery, and seasonal exploration while developing risk assessment skills. The programme promotes physical coordination, environmental awareness, and creative problem-solving through hands-on outdoor activities.
Special Educational Needs Support
We provide tailored support for children with speech delays, autism, and Down syndrome. Our staff collaborate with external therapists to implement individual education plans. Specialist resources and small group activities ensure all children receive appropriate developmental stimulation and social integration opportunities.
Wraparound Care
Flexible early morning care operates from 8:00-9:00 AM during term time. Sessions can be pre-booked or arranged with 24-hour notice. Our qualified staff provide supervised play activities before regular preschool hours, accommodating working parents' schedules while maintaining consistent caregiver relationships.
Parental Engagement
We maintain open communication through regular newsletters, termly updates, and informal daily discussions. Parent workshops cover child development topics, while our Board of Trustees welcomes community input. This collaborative approach ensures families remain central to their child's educational journey.
