Pre-school
The nursery has a pre-school class to achieve a structured classroom environment, which help the children prepare for school. A structured curriculum is taught to assist with basic literacy and numerical skills before starting school. The Jolly phonics scheme and Oxford Reading Tree is also used to promote literacy skills.
Baby room
The nursery along with pre-school room also has a delightful baby room for children aged six weeks to two years. This offers a home environment ensuring your baby feels warm, safe and secure.
We aim to follow your child’s daily routine to help him/her settle in as quickly as possible.
The baby room is exceptionally well-equipped with plenty of space for rolling, crawling and learning to walk. Babies will be encouraged to participate in such activities as water/sand play, finger games, story time and nursery rhymes, painting and puzzles etc. Naturally a lot of time is spent giving the children quality time and attention with plenty of cuddles!
