- Child Protection is our top priority, and we work hard to create a safe, caring environment where children feel confident, supported and able to be themselves.
- We celebrate diversity and inclusion, helping children to understand that all families are unique – and that’s something to be proud of!
- Every child is given a dedicated key person – a friendly, familiar adult who builds a strong bond with your child, supports their development and keeps you up to date with their progress.
- We love working in partnership with parents and carers, and use an online learning journal to share special moments and milestones from your child’s time with us.

Absences & Illness
- If your child is absent without prior notice, the full fee will still apply.
- For planned absences such as holidays or hospital appointments, no fees will be charged – we just ask for at least two weeks' notice.
- If your child is unwell and you let us know by 8:30am on the day, we’ll only charge half the usual fee. This helps us cover staffing already in place for the day.
