Our Nursery rooms are run by a team of very experienced Teachers, Nursery Nurses and Teaching Assistants. Each child is part of a Key Group and is supported by their Key Person who is responsible for encouraging their learning and development through play.
Children who have additional educational or health needs are also offered individual specialist support and in some circumstances, children are allocated a Teaching Assistant to work on a one to one basis with them. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and each child's development is observed, planned for and evaluated on a daily basis.
Please read our Learning and Teaching (Curriculum) Policy to find out more. We offer a variety of different sessions to suit the needs of all our families however, we recommend that children attend a minimum of 2-3 sessions per week.
