Childcare

We are pleased to confirm that we were judged as 'GOOD' with an area of 'Outstanding' for personal development, behaviour and wellbeing. 

"The managers, and many of the staff, are very experienced practitioners who work as a highly effective team. Over the years, they have constantly evaluated and improved the combined settings to raise the standards of care and learning for children in the community".  Ofsted May 2018

FUNDING 

All children receiving the Early Years curriculum are entitled to funding from the Early Years education grant.  This entitles each child to 15 free flexible hours per week, term time or over 52 weeks.  We accept 2 year old funding and 30 hours funding.  For more information visit the government website www.gov.uk

SNOW DAYS/EXTREME WEATHER

Please check the website in the event of extreme weather to see if we are able to open.

Snow days will still be charged at the normal rate.  This is due to our running costs and overheads still having to be paid.  However, where possible during the period of the time that your child is at our setting we will always try to offer additional sessions to compensate for the missed sessions.  These sessions will be given when available.  Please refer to the payment policy for more information.

PARENT/GRANDPARENT VOLUNTEERS

We are always in need of an extra pair of hands!  If you or you know of someone that is willing to give up a few hours a week, then we'd love to hear from you.  Some of the activities we need help with are:

Gardening

DIY and decorating

Looking after on site animals

Having fun with the children!

For more information please speak to a member of staff.  Please note all volunteers will be subject to employment checks and DBS. 

‘Assessment is precise and accurate for all areas of children's learning and development.  Staff use their in-depth knowledge of each child to plan interesting learning opportunities that help children to achieve the next steps in their development.’
