Communication
Clear communication with parents is actively encouraged to ensure your child gets the precise attention he or she needs while being with us. All children’s needs are especially catered for in a positive and extremely personalised way – both individually and within groups.
Equally, parent information is always available. For computer savvy parents, our online Tapestry system is an interactive assessment service enabling parents to monitor their child’s progress at any time, 24/7.
You will find our current downloads for parents here.
With this in mind, you are assured that the nursery has great relationships with many local Primary Schools when your child eventually needs to move on.
See the News & Events page or go to our list of Newsletter downloads for the latest news flyers.
Parents love our daily communication and Facebook additions too!

“Children are making excellent progress in their learning and development supported by knowledgeable and dedicated staff. Partnership with parents is exemplary and partnership working with others is developing. Children’s safety and their welfare is assured through effective implementation of policies and procedures and risk assessments.
