CWA are proud of the work that we do at our Applewood nursery. Each day we provide a fantastic range of play and educational activities. There is regular routine, which takes into account the differing stages of development and individual interests of the children in our care. Activities are planned in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and we seek to involve children in the planning processes to ensure we satisfy their needs and interests.
Applewood Nursery is a thriving purpose built nursery in the grounds of The College of West Anglia and provides childcare opportunities to the local community as well as our own staff.
