Overview
We are a small, village, term-time, pre-school - our aim is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for all children to grow to their full potential.
We gained a solid GOOD in our last Ofsted inspection (may 2023) and we were described as a ‘Little Gem in the local community’ by the inspector.
We take any child from the age of 2 years up to school age and offer funded places to 2, 3 and 4 year olds (15 hours and 30 hours entitlement).
It is important to us that all children be given a nurturing environment and to be happy, sociable and confident in everything they do.
We take a maximum of 20 children with a total of 4 staff to enable us to be able to give children the very best start in their education.
Our outside environment enables the children to extend their learning even more – with a large sit in sandpit, a water feature to help their thinking skills, a quiet corner for reading, chances to make music, draw and use ALL their imagination.
