Our Nursery is known as Kittiwakes and is for girls who are rising 4 years old. A limited number of boys may be admitted to accommodate sibling requirements. Three highly experienced Early Years Practitioners provide exceptional care and teaching, planning exciting and innovative experiences. These are delivered through a balanced range of adult-led and child-initiated learning, within the classroom environment, the outdoor learning area and are further enhanced with planned outings within the local community. All these activities and experiences adhere to the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework and provide the children with a range of opportunities that allow them to achieve secure development in all the seven areas of learning. Children’s individual needs are taken into account at every stage and each child is supported to achieve their very best outcomes.
