On occasions children will be taken on outings to complement their nursery activities. In this instance advance warning will be given to parents and permission will be required as appropriate.
While general outings will be included within the fee structure, some special outings may require extra payment. Again advanced notice will be given, and you will always have the right to exclude your child from these outings.
Safety on outings is a priority and so staff ratios will
always be maintained.

All food is prepared daily on site by qualified kitchen staff.
Menus operate on a four weekly rotation and offer children a balanced and nutritional diet. Meals are prepared using fresh produce where possible. All drinks and snacks are included within the nursery fees; drinks are available throughout the day. Hot meals are served at lunch time and we also offer appropriate snacks throughout the day, plus early morning light snacks and mid afternoon tea.
We work closely with parents to meet any special dietary
requirements.

Sleeping arrangements are for children who still require a nap throughout the day.
Children are provided with their own beds and bedding, and are able to sleep in a quiet area with low lighting. Staff will sit with the children whilst they go off to sleep and check on them regularly whilst sleeping.
Young babies are able to sleep in a separate room in their own cot and can sleep according to their usual routine at home.
The nursery is divided into three main age groups.

Toddlers 1year - 2yrs then 2yrs - 3 yrs
