In our preschool, children aged 3 to 5 years find an environment rich in opportunities for independence, with lots of space and exciting activities.

Designed by Bright Horizons Early Years specialists, your little one will get the very best start through our enriching and wellbeing focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum. This holistic, yet personal approach supports each child’s development and progress- whether that’s building academic skills, personal resilience, confidence to move rooms or preparing them for school.
Each of our rooms has a designated garden area which provides fantastic outdoor opportunities to free flow and for children to develop and learn. Equipped with age-appropriate equipment, each garden feature covered areas, playground equipment and sensory resources.
In addition, our nursery boasts a sensory garden comprising dedicated gardening areas and a natural forest environment, enriching the educational journey of our young leaders. We are also investing in the professional development of one of our senior leaders, who is undergoing training as a Forest School teacher. This will provide an exceptional learning opportunity for our children.

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
