Our Vision

Roots

Our vision is to create a place that feels like home, where children feel part of the family and know that they are loved, cared for, listened to and valued.  Families feel comfortable and welcomed into a safe and non-judgemental environment and understand that their views and personal perspectives are not only respected but celebrated and included in our practice.

Our passionate, enthusiastic and qualified team plan responsively, in the moment, keeping the children’s unique interests at the heart of everything they do, expanding their play experiences and uplifting them to reach their full potential in all developmental areas.

Wings 

We know that each child is an individual with a unique set of capabilities and we aim to nurture their instinctive drive to explore, investigate and discover the world around them by providing an engaging environment that sparks curiosity and ignites a sense of wonder.  We understand that, within a safe environment, challenges and opportunities to fail are excellent ways for children to develop their self confidence, independence and resilience and these are the magic ingredients to creating the empowered learners of the future.

What we offer

Throughout the week, we offer a wide range of engaging activities for children to play and learn in various areas. These include exciting PE lessons, cookery classes, trips to the library, enjoyable nature walks, music sessions, and moments of mindfulness. Best of all, these enriching experiences are all included in our standard programme without any additional charges!

Learning Through
discovery & play

Our dedicated team has developed an engaging curriculum that aims to provide children with a diverse range of experiences to support their overall development. We value and celebrate each child’s unique qualities and strive to help them become confident communicators, independent individuals, motivated movers, celebrated citizens, proactive problem-solvers, and secure self-regulators. This holistic approach ensures that as children progress through our nursery, they are well-prepared for their transition to school.
