We are a inclusive child focused setting which offers places for children 6 months plus.  

Our setting comprises of 3 considerably sized play rooms.

Our play rooms are Big Stars for our over 3's,  Little Stars for our 2-3's and Tiny Stars for our under 2's (transisitions between rooms are based upon children's developmental levels and age). Each room has its own entrance/access to outdoor play. We offer continuous access to the outdoor area thoughout each session in all rooms (in all weathers). Each room also plan weekly outings and will regularly visit local parks, the libary, play centres, local shops and supermarkets as well as forest school sessions in local woodlands.
