About our Nurseries
We understand that young children learn through play. Our activities are based on professional research into the learning needs of young children. During each session your child will have the opportunity to enjoy lots of stimulating and exciting play activities, develop a wide range of pre-school skills and have great fun at the same time!
We provide a welcoming and friendly environment for children and their families. The nurseries are well resourced with qualified staff and appropriate equipment to provide a quality setting in which we can work alongside your child to develop their potential.
Session times:
Morning session: 8.45am-11.45am
Afternoon session: 12.45pm-3.45pm
