Help, advice and support
because every child matters
Our first priority is the safety and well being of every child who attends our setting
We believe every child should live and learn in a safe and inclusive environment. Here at the setting we have an open door policy, where parents can communicate freely in complete confidence about your child's well being and the support your family may need.
We understand parenting can be a challenge, there is lots of advice and support our fully trained team can offer.
Please don't suffer in silence, ask for help
Please speak to a member of staff if we can support you and your family in any way
If you believe a child is in immediate danger please call 999
