• The joy of shaping young children’s first experiences of learning, laughter and friendship
About the nursery:
Our nursery will offer 21 places for 2- and 3/4-year-olds, creating a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to thrive. We believe that a child’s first steps into education should be full of wonder, care, and discovery—and we want you to help bring that vision to life.
