Somewhere your child is happy to be left
Come and see us on an ordinary day, with no appointment and nothing tidied away first. That is the only way to know.

What matters to parents
Come and look
Visit on a normal day and see what it is actually like, not a show put on for you.
Told about the day
What they ate, what they did, how they slept, and whether anything was hard.
Settling in slowly
Short visits first, at your child's pace, until being left is not frightening.
The same faces
Children do better with people they know, so we work hard to keep ours.
What we offer
Full days
From the morning drop-off to the end of the working day.
Part-time places
Set days each week, for families who do not need five.
Groups by age
The youngest in their own room with their own rhythm, and older children where there is more going on.
Settling in
Short, free visits before you start, as many as your child needs.
Before and after school
Breakfast, collection, homework and somewhere to be until you finish.
Holiday club
Days out, activities and somewhere to go when school is closed.
Food
Meals and snacks on a menu you can see, with allergies and preferences taken seriously.
Sleep and nappies
To your child's routine, not to a schedule, and changed as often as needed.
Outside every day
Weather is clothing, not a reason to stay in.
Getting ready for school
The habits and confidence that make the first term easier.
Where the days happen
The rooms, the garden and the things there are to do — shown with every family's permission.

Settling in is gradual, and it goes at your child's pace.
- Step 1
Come and look round
See the rooms, meet the staff and ask everything, on an ordinary day.
- Step 2
Register
We talk through routines, food, sleep, nappies and anything your child needs, and tell you which papers to bring.
- Step 3
Settling-in visits
Short visits first, with you nearby, getting longer each time.
- Step 4
The first full day
And a proper account of it when you collect them.
About usLooked after the way you would do it
Small children need the same few things: somebody who notices them, a day with a shape to it, time outside, and grown-ups who are calm when they are not.
So the day has a rhythm — play, outside, lunch, rest, more play — with room in it for a child who is having a difficult morning. We would rather stop and sit with somebody than keep to a plan.
