We have 124 places available in the whole nursery. The children are housed in three classrooms, one being Dragonflies, the assessment base has places for 20 children (10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon). Positive attitudes and self-esteem are important features of our school ethos.

All staff are committed to equal opportunities and there is a strong team spirit. We teach a broad, child centred, adapted curriculum that teachers and their assistants plan and review within the team. There is good support for new members of staff.
