Our Day Care Centre provides high-quality care and education for children aged six weeks to three years, offering a seamless opportunity for continuity and transition into our Nursery School throughout your child’s early years. Supported by a high ratio of well-qualified staff, we operate for 51 weeks of the year to provide a warm, secure, and stimulating environment where every child is loved, cared for, and educated to the highest standard. The centre is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, five days per week, ensuring flexible support for working families.
Leadership at the centre is robust and experienced, with a dedicated manager and deputy manager who bring a wealth of expertise in day care provision, while the school’s headteacher retains overall charge to ensure alignment with our educational ethos. To guarantee personalised attention, each child is assigned a specific ‘key worker’ responsible for monitoring their individual journey. This involves observing, recording, planning, assessing, and maintaining close liaison with parents to support development at every stage. Furthermore, every child maintains their own ‘Learning Journal,’ a special record in which their key worker documents their unique progress and achievements. For detailed information regarding prices, session availability, and current places, please contact the centre directly.
For all our children we work within the Department of Education’s ‘Early Years Foundation Stage ‘ curriculum.
