A bit about Us.......

Our Nursery is a purpose built pre-school with large gardens set in a beautiful market town. We accept children from 2 years old. We are open during term time between 8am and 4pm. We are a committee run pre-school.

We cherish each child as an individual and believe that childhood is precious. We are firm believers in the power of play. For every child, play is an essential part of their development and it is by this means that they come to terms with their environment and learn to make judgments for themselves. It is through play that a child becomes an enquirer, an experimenter and an explorer and at Nursery school we aim to give children direct and first hand experiences to aid this development.

We are passionate about the importance of outdoor play, our large gardens which wrap around the Nursery building allow our children free access to the gardens throughout the day.
