Who we are

Starting as an independent charity in 2009… We are funded by the county council for children to start preschool the term after their 3rd birthday. Offering a range of exciting activities to develop your child’s knowledge through play.We have a large open plan room and an enclosed playground which allows children to play and explore their surroundings through climbing, running, riding bikes and exploring the natural areas within the environment, in which the teachers plan for each day based on the child’s interests.

 

 

We offer 24 spaces per session, offering 5 morning sessions or 5 afternoon sessions. These hours can be extended if you qualify for the 30 hour entitlement.
