They form firm friendships and develop impressive social skills and good manners. Staff provide babies with loving care as they respond to their individual needs, such as their sleep habits.”
- “Staff work with parents and other professionals to give children, including those with SEND, the best opportunities. The varied, structured and inspiring curriculum helps to ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), develop a wonderfully positive attitude to learning.”

All staff are passionate about securing the very best outcomes for all children. They develop strong bonds with all members of the incredibly nurturing staff team.”
- “Staff prioritise the development of children's excellent communication and language skills. They promote a love of books and rhymes across all age groups. Staff model sounds and words and encourage babies to repeat them. They ask questions, allowing older children plenty of time to think and answer.”
