Story Bags

The nursery now has a few story bags to support children to give up their bottle, dummies & nappies. We also have a few bags to support children when joining the nursery and moving onto school. These can be borrowed for 1 night. Please ask one of the staff members who will sign out the bags for you.

Nursery Home Cooked Foods

Nikki our nursery cook makes the most delicious vegetarian meals. The children learn a lot of new skills during mealtimes, and it is a nice social experience.

Please can I ask that all parents & visitors ensure they talk politely to staff at all times. We are always here to help.
