There is a minimum of 1 half day session per week and any additional hours that may be needed can be worked into our schedule and the fees.
Tapestry Learning Journals
To record children's learning and development we use an online platform called Tapestry. This is a secure programme which is designed for parents/carers to be able to view/contribute to their child's personal file. This helps us to keep consistency from learning and opportunities are able to be built upon within any environment, home or nursery.
You can find out more about Tapestry on our Parent Portal.
Fees
All information about fees is available directly through the nursery or you can contact us.

Clean Air
There has been a lot of debate recently about the state of air pollution levels and their effects on children with a report showing that over 1000 nurseries in the UK are based near roads with illegal levels of air pollution. The fumes coming from the road traffic represent a serious, and often overlooked, risk to children's health if they continue to breathe in the polluted air.
We are happy to say that we are not one of those nurseries and are situated away from highly polluting roads meaning the air our children breathe in is safe. There are nurseries in the region that do not have as clean air as we do and this ITV News article contains a list of all the offending nurseries.
