We understand that each and every child needs a happy, healthy environment for learning and playing and our day nurseries are dedicated to helping parents provide just that. Children benefit immensely from the rich, stimulating environment and the wealth of learning opportunities that are available to them. The government's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the framework the nursery follows to provide that assurance.
The children are surrounded by their peers and dedicated practitioners to allow them to develop at their own pace.
