Welcome to
Nursery

Our nursery is a nurturing, interactive and language-rich environment.

During their time in the nursery, your child will develop key skills such as communication and language, personal, social and emotional development, and numeracy skills. The well-equipped, large outdoor area will support their motor skills and let them engage in imaginative play.

Helping your child grow

Our nursery promotes an ethos of independence, positive relationships and a love of learning so children are equipped to transition smoothly into Reception. During their time with us children will be able to engage in a variety of Hinterland experiences, such as a visit to the local library, the seaside and local park.
