Our practices ensure equality for all and we encourage a positive self image, respect for others and a caring attitude towards the environment and all living things. Throughout each child's time at Croftlands Infant & Nursery School it is our aim that he or she will develop socially, physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and morally.
We plan for each child's needs based on our knowledge and understanding of their development. Full-time Nursery Care is available in our Little Wagtails from 7.30 am to 5 pm. Except on Friday, we close at 3 pm. We have and wraparound care available in our Breakfast Club 7.45 am-8.40 am and After School Club, 3.20 pm- 5 pm. We do not have After School Club on Fridays.
