Welcome and thank you for your interest in our Kindergarten ....
Children join us each September for their pre-school year which is the year (September to August) in which their fourth birthday falls.
Our experienced and qualified staff team are passionate about Early Years and committed to offering every child the opportunity to have fun, achieve and learn through play in a safe, caring and stimulating environment in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We recognise that every child is unique and aim to meet their individual needs in partnership with parents and carers.
Our high standards are evidenced through our Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ judgement.
We hope you find what you need on this page but please get in touch with us if you have any questions or we can help in any way.
