We offer a wide variety of opportunities including art and craft, cookery, sports and outdoor adventure!

Other notes

Although we promote an inclusive practice, for our more complex SEN children we meet with parents/carers first, this allows us to understand the child better and agree with parents the best way to support their child. Although we would not exclude any child from coming to our provision we would not take a child who's needs we feel we could not meet. We believe all children in our care deserve equal opportunities in all we offer to all our children and keeping all children as well as our self safe is paramount.
