About the employer

We are a team of qualified and experienced professionals who put the children's wellbeing and education at the centre of their work.

We focus on each child as an individual, planning learning experiences and play sessions around each child's needs and interests.

Rather than a more vertical approach, the curriculum takes a holistic view of learning, where children continue to build on what they learn by moving on to lessons based on writing and reading. The aim is to provide a broader education that includes language learning, science, dance, drama, messy play and many other interesting topics that children find so fascinating.

Never a dull moment!
