Whilst we have a daily routine, we like to remain flexible and regularly adapt a session to suit the needs of the children and to make the most of unplanned opportunities. A typical day, however, will be based on the time-table below.
We ensure that staff sit with the children to eat their lunch so that these times are a social occasion in which children and staff can participate. In order to protect children with food allergies, we discourage children from sharing and swapping their food with one another.
Eligible working parents may qualify for up to 30 funded hours per week through the working parent entitlement. This can apply to some eligible two‑year‑olds, and eligible three and four year olds, in addition to their universal 15 hours. Eligibility is set by the government and requires a valid funding code, which must be renewed regularly.
No. We do not charge top‑up fees. Funded hours can be used to cover all sessions, including breakfast, lunch and extended day care. Any hours beyond your funding entitlement are charged at our standard rate, with no hidden extras.
Absolutely. We’re always happy to help. Funding can vary depending on age and circumstances, so we encourage parents to speak to us or book a visit to talk through the options in person.
Our curriculum is designed around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting children to learn, explore and develop at their own pace. Through a balance of play‑based activities, structured learning and hands‑on experiences, we nurture each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our experienced team plans engaging, age‑appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of learning, while celebrating every child’s individual strengths and interests.
We believe that strong partnerships with parents are key to a child’s happiness and development. We keep families informed and involved through regular communication, updates on their child’s progress, and opportunities to share in their learning journey. From daily routines and milestones to events and important notices, our team is always available to support families, answer questions, and ensure you feel confident, informed and connected every step of the way.
