“Quote from Louisa the Nursery Manager”
I am passionate about creating an environment that encourages interest and exploration through real, open ended resources both inside and out. I enjoy supporting children to learn through play using loose parts focusing on the interest of each individual child and facilitating a rich environment that captures awe and wonder.

It is Recycle Week! Here are some top tips for recycling at home:
♻️ Make sure you know which items are recyclable! It should say on the packing of items.
♻️ Find a place to store your recycling - now that you know which items you can recycle, find a convenient place to store them before you take them out to the bin.
♻️Encourage the family - even your children - to check whether items can be reused or recycled before they are thrown away.
