We are located in the recreation ground close to the village centre and have been an integral part of the village since 1960. We are fortunate to have access to the playing fields, playground, and a wooded area for forest school type activities. 

We are very proud of our transition to school programme, in conjunction with the local primary schools. As a pre-school, we provide more than just childcare - we also prepare your child for school. Following the Early Years Foundation Stage, we work with the children to help them to gain core skills in the areas shown below.

“All children are excited and eager to learn. They feel safe and secure in the setting and develop excellent relationships with the staff. The staff are highly engaged in the children's learning, and the children make rapid progress across the areas of learning”

“The staff team has a vast amount of experience in early years and skilfully provides children with a varied and challenging curriculum”

“The children are free to safely explore the setting, and all the equipment and resources are stored in easily accessible low-level storage so that the children can self-select them”

“The staff build on the children's learning”

“Children benefit from an abundance of physical activities and have use of the large playing field and woodland area to the side of the setting”

“The exemplary behaviour of the children shows that the boundaries and rules of the setting are well embedded, and the children follow these with ease”
