Service Description:We have a toddler unit for the youngest children in our care, which is currently in use as a sensory room, and for our chatty bears group which is small group work for children who need encouragement to develop their language skills. On the lower floor we have two open plan rooms, which allow for a calm, nurturing feel for your child's first steps into childcare provision. We also have the whole ground floor as a spacious provision for our older children, with access straight onto the outdoor area via double doors. A separate area of the outside space is available for the younger children also. Qualified and experienced staff teach based on the individual child's interests, in our child led learning environment. We are a friendly, welcoming setting and we achieved a GOOD outcome for our work from OFSTED in December 2019. We currently open from Monday to Friday from 9am-12pm or 12-3pm or even 1pm-4pm (funding is welcome during these times). There is an opportunity to pay for an early start (8.30-9am) at £4 per child per day and/or a lunch club or late finish (3-4pm) at £4 per child per day. Please contact Kerry or Louise for an appointment to visit us soon as we fill up quickly!
