Our rooms are bright and open with the outdoors being easily accessible. Our generous outdoor areas and expansive lawns allow children the space to explore and enjoy, and our wonderful garden and vegetable plots enable them to plant and nurture flowers and vegetables.

With inspiration from Reggio Emilia, our teachers have a passion for inspiring wonder, creativity, imagination and investigation, fostering children's hundred languages and unravelling their theories alongside them.  Our Centre Director is experienced and approachable and spends time on the floor working alongside the teaching team and children to understand how best to support them.
