If you need to get in touch with us today, please phone. Also be aware that we now cannot hear the phone ringing if we are not in the office (new phone system) so please leave a message if no one answers your call. We will be checking throughout the day.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Parents and Carers of children attending our ELC class - please bring your child in the main front door to bring your child to nursery. We will no longer be using the garden gate to bring children to nursery or collect them at the end of the day.
