We are very flexible with hours and can provide 15 hours and 30 hours funded places. We also have an option of purchasing ‘top up’ hours for children who are eligible for 15 hours funded.

We have indoor and outdoor learning spaces that our children can free flow between.

Within our learning spaces children have access to:

• sand and water play
• construction and small world
• creative and mark making resources
• malleable play – playdough and mud kitchen
• home corner and role play
• reading and maths resources
• loose parts and games equipment
• digging pit, mud hollow and rope bridge

Our Nursery provision is designed to support children in the following areas of development:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development 
• Communication and Language 
• Physical Development 
• Literacy 
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

We have a balance of child-led and adult led learning. We follow the children’s interests and adults observe and facilitate learning and development through questioning, suggesting, modelling, speaking and listening.

We also have a weekly Forest School session in our small Woodland Area on the edge of our school field. These sessions provide children with the opportunity to work as a team, develop their problem solving, critical thinking and communication skills as well as having a positive impact on their health and well-being.

The children take part in a range of activities including:

• Den Building
• Woodland Craft
• Treasure and Scavenger Hunts
• Team Games
• Campfire and Cooking.

All children are entitled to 15 hours nursery funded nursery education the term after their third birthday. Some parents may be entitled to a further 15 hours extended funding if they meet the eligibility criteria.
