Our children enjoy the freedom to move between indoor and outdoor spaces, including our on‑site Forest School area with a pond and campfire facilities.

Conveniently situated on Byron Road within the grounds of Bridgetown Primary School and just a short stroll from the heart of Stratford‑upon‑Avon, ample parking is available along the road outside the school.
