The recent addition of a new sensory room, greenhouse and garden  have allowed us to create a flourishing vegetable patch where children explore and develop their senses and skills whilst enjoying the fruits of their labour at snack time.

We like to be involved in the local community by supporting local and national charities, with the children themselves raising funds and participating in the events, with the support of our parents committee. Our most recent events having been odyssey a large festival of music, dance and performance ,  dress-up days, summer fun day, summer concert,  harvest festival, bonfire night and our "Carols round the tree" being hugely successful.

Our philosophy and the aim of our nursery is to give your child the very best start possible to their school life. The nursery aims are as follows:

To provide a friendly, happy and stimulating environment for children incorporating the farm and local woodlands:

• Create and develop a caring, welcoming community for pre-school children which will enable them to feel happy, secure and special;
• Work closely with parents and provide a broad and balanced curriculum which fosters the intellectual, emotional, physical, moral, social and cultural development of children;
• Enable children to make an effective transition from nursery to school;
• Help the children become familiar with classroom routines;
• Develop independence and decision-making skills.

All this will be achieved by providing child-centred activities which:

• Stimulate children's creativity;
• Enrich their language and literacy development;
• Form the basis for mathematical understanding;
• Encourage the children to observe and find out about the world around them, thus developing their curiosity to ask questions;
• Encourage development of manipulative skills;
• Enable children to come to terms with their own lives and express their feelings.

Children learn about themselves and their world through concrete first hand experiences which include carefully directed play and the purposeful use of language as a tool for thinking about, exploring and expressing ideas.To make sure that this is achieved everything in the classroom (both indoors and outdoors) to the curriculum has been developed with early years learning in mind.

We aim to produce an atmosphere where children can learn and have fun in unrivalled surroundings, with friendly caring staff. We are looking forward to working with you and your children to give them an exceptional start in life and all the skills necessary to succeed.
