“Children flourish at this caring and well-organised nursery, and feel safe and
secure. They are very well supported by staff, who understand their individual
development and learning needs. Building children’s confidence and independence
is a key aspect of the provision.” (Excerpt from the September 2022 Inspection Report)

Curriculum

Our educational program is designed to adhere to the highest standards of early childhood education. We follow both the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Montessori approach. The EYFS framework ensures a well-rounded foundation in key areas of development, while the Montessori philosophy promotes independence, creativity, and a love of learning. Our integrated approach combines these principles to provide a holistic and enriching educational experience for every child in our care.
