  • In order for us to meet the needs of your child/ren, we will need to know more about them. We only have the capacity to provide one to one support for two children in preschool at any one time.

    We do not charge an additional fee for one to one care for any age group, even when a child is receiving 'free of charge' sessions, term time only or all year round.

    Please be honest with us. If there are particular needs requiring support, we will invite you to come along to the nursery to meet you and your child before we confirm a place.
