A Few Words About Us
Quality & value for money.
We are a registered not for profit charity and our aim is to provide a quality ‘value for money’ outstanding childcare provision, to the local and wider community
Excellent links with schools.
We have excellent links with all local schools and early years settings, and value the importance of supporting transitions for our children. In addition, we work closely with the local authority and fellow professionals (when additional support is needed), including health visitors and speech and language therapists to ensure every child receives the very best individual care.
Home from home environment.
Our families tell us the atmosphere of our nursery is ‘so homely and welcoming’, and an ‘exciting and inspirational place’ where every child will thrive and develop to their full potential. We are proud of Caterpillars and the ‘home from home’ environment we provide here. Our children are happy, contented, motivated and confident learners, developing valuable lifelong skills in readiness for school and beyond.
