Maple baby room 0mth to 20months
Our dedicated baby room team have designed a warm, cosy homely room for our babies. A soft and calm ambiance filled room with gentle lighting, and exciting treasure baskets and resources to explore.
We promote safer sleep throughout our setting in line with current guidance from the lullaby trust so that you can rest assured that your little one is in safe hands.
We believe that a healthy sleep pattern supports brain development for young children and establishes a routine that helps babies feel secure and comfortable, contributing to overall positive health and well-being.
in addition to our lovely baby space we have a decked out door area designed for sand and water play and also an out door grassed field with a larger sand pit and mini mud kitchen, miniature slides and swings and abundance for toys to explore.

Chestnut toddler room 20months to 34 months
Our little chestnut room is a natural progression up from our baby room.
It's where toddlers learn to negotiate and manager their own risks with some support from adults but also where they learn the foundation for important communication and language skills that help them to navigate big feelings and help curious minds to put thoughts into words.
Our toddler team focus on "in the moment planning" to suit childrens interests by designing their continuous provision in a way that allows the children freedom of choice to meet their natural interests and next steps.
The adults support the children along the way by promoting a gentle and positive challenge in childs play and helping build confidence and encouraging the development of problem solving skills.
Our toddlers have a dedicated outdoor field and decked area with bike track, sand, water, slides, swings, climbing mound and mud kitchens to play in.

A“My son has been attending this pre school for the last 2 years, I am extremely impressed and have never had a problem with the care he has received and can thoroughly recommend it.
The hall is very big, divided into learning areas. There are lots of lovely educational toys and the children are often painting, glueing and doing crafts. The garden has wooden play equipment Inc pirate ship and safe flooring. The food is cooked onsite by a qualified chef and my son says he eats it all up. My son has progressed well through being at pre school and it is obvious he has been taught a massive amount there.
I would say that this pre school has been amazing for my little boy and I, well worth a visit if you are considering a pre school place for your little one." Annabel
