Our nursery has no secure outdoor space for the children to play in, however, we make the most of the outdoors by exploring the surrounding area. We have a large indoor area for physical development. We have close connections to the local care home. Snacks are prepared on premises and the nursery promotes healthy choices. Water is available all day and milk offered at snack time.

We achieved 'Good' from Ofsted in September 2018.
