Where Learning Is Fun
We offer a child led curriculum which supports the modern teaching environments found in local feed schools. By offering the child let environment, we can support children with their transition to school through our Be School Ready initiative offered within the centre. The initiative has been developed to ensure that children leave the centre as confident, capable learners, having had many different experiences to prepare for the next step in their education journey.
To cater for each important stage in your child's life, we have four development classrooms; our Nursery, Preschool, Prep School and Seniors.
Our Nursery offers specialist teachers who are passionate about the care and education of young children. We have a caring and supportive environment for children, catering for each of the special milestones your baby will develop.
In our Preschool we offer a fun environment so children can build confidence through a child led curriculum, exploring fun topics to support their learning and social development.
Our Prep School room offers a challenging and supportive environment for young children, with safe areas to explore and enjoy their world, while developing friendships in a caring child led environment, with high quality teachers and resources.
Our Seniors Class is the final step before leaving us to go off to Primary School. Our Seniors Class offers a literacy and numeracy rich environment, where children can further develop working theories of the world around them and beyong.
We have the ability to share these special events with you and your family through Storypark, our safe online system of communication.
Meal times are a treat for us with our qualified chef on site, providing healthy cooked lunches each day. We can cater for allergies, and special dietary requirements.
We encourage community involvement and make regular outings into our local community for various excursions and community days. We also provide a wide range of extra curriculum activities, which include Art Class, Yoga, and Chef Classes. Come in and visit us to find out more!
