One of the things that makes our nursery unique is that we have a qualified teacher, with a specialism in Early Years education, who oversees teaching and learning in the nursery, who is supported by a highly qualified and experienced team of early years teaching assistants. All staff working in the nursery are passionate about ensuring that all children are offered opportunities to thrive. 

We comply with statutory regulations for all adult to child ratios and on many occasions exceed these by having a higher ratio of adults to children. Because we are a training school, we actively seek to grow professionals and are pleased to support those who wish to begin a career in early child care. This means that your child will benefit from both individual attention with staff and the opportunity to work in small groups. allowing staff to find the best ways to help your child learn and develop.
