We are a committee run, registered charity pre-school offering early years education from the ages of two to four years. As a packaway setting, we are very responsive to the needs and likes of the children in our care, and can provide a wide range of resources to support their development. We encourage independence and resilience, with a consistent and experienced small staff team. We are able to offer funding to all children the term after their third birthday, and some two year olds subject to certain criteria.
