The Apple Trust

We offer a unique nursery experience right through from our babyroom to our preschool room. Each room is carefully designed to enhance and develop your child's skills by offering exciting and curious resources which provoke learning and development. We offer an open-ended environment to allow your child's learning to flow through the areas inside and outside, to allow their play to progress and expand.

We aim to use our collective knowledge and status as leaders in outstanding childcare and early years education to provide you and your child an exclusive early years experience. We deliver nature sessions, community engagement, adventure and solid foundations for the future in a warm and inviting nursery.

In 1995 three parents from the local church decided to run a parent and toddler group in the church hall. This then developed into a preschool play group three times a week. The group grew in popularity and demand and began to expand to full day care.

In 2000 a new vicar came to the parish with the passion and vision to help secure funding and in 2001 The Apple Trust (charity) was created to serve the needs of the community by advancing the education of children and young people in the area.Our ethos is very important to us and many of our parents have said we are "different" or "unique".

Our babyroom is warm and inviting and offers lots of sensory opportunities for your baby to develop and build their physical, social, emotional and communication skills. We have natural resources with lots of different textures to explore, and plenty of space for those first steps. Our babies have access to their own private outdoor play space, so they can enjoy the seasons.

Our pre-school room offers lots of space for our children to explore and grow as well as natural and real life resources to promote first hand experiences of awe and wonder. Through play, imagination and the child's interest we build on important skills and knowledge to prepare them for their next step in their educational journey.
