Our Nursery and Preschool is set in a charming character building, providing a happy and stimulating environment for 3 month to 5-year-olds. Your little one will love exploring areas such as the art studio, sensory room and our large, landscaped garden.
Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.
Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's development and progress - whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.
Children really enjoy playing in our sand pit, writing on the large chalk boards and getting messy in the mud kitchen. There's even room for tricycles. Our nursery is also within walking distance to a park, so the children can explore and learn from the experience of group outings.
A separate sleep room ensures a quiet and peaceful space for your little one to recharge. We also have a fully-functioning children's kitchen that inspires your little chefs to learn about making healthy, delicious food.
An onsite chef holds a 5* EHO rating for food safety and hygiene and is dedicated to preparing healthy meals and snacks to keep your little one re-fueled for fun.
Wipes, formula, nappies and creams are also provided, so there's even less to pack in the morning!
Handy onsite parking facilities and a designated buggy park allow for easy and convenient drop-off and pick-ups.

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
