Parents are the most important influence on their child’s learning and development. We works closely with parents to ensure that their children gain the best possible start in life.

Our childcare services

Our settings offer a choice of fun play activities which provide children with lots of interest and stimulation, helping them to learn at a pace that suits them. The benefits of this kind of learning have been recognised by government and reflected in the recent Early Years Foundation Stage framework. Parents are also encouraged to continue learning with their children at home. Find out more about our childcare services

Volunteering with us

Many parents enjoy volunteering at our settings. You can choose to spend as much or as little time as you like. Some parents help occasionally with fundraising or nursery outings, while others choose to become more involved as a treasurer or secretary. You will have a chance to learn new skills, make friends and share your experiences. Most importantly you can become more actively involved with your child's learning and development.
