Our Hummingbird Room cares for babies aged 8 weeks to around 18 months–2 years in a calm, nurturing upstairs space with up to nine babies and three dedicated staff.
The room includes a separate kitchen, sleep room, and a flexible open-plan play area for sensory and focused activities. With a built-in nappy station, wooden-floored messy play zone, and regular visits to the toddler room and garden, babies enjoy a smooth transition as they grow. Activities are thoughtfully planned to support each child’s individual development in communication, physical, and emotional skills.
The Robin Room supports toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years with a calm, nurturing transition from the baby room, including settle-in sessions as needed. The room accommodates up to 12 children and 3 members of staff.
With access to a dedicated garden through open French doors, children enjoy free-flow play that fosters independence and choice. Staff plan activities tailored to each child’s developmental needs, focusing on communication and language. The room accommodates up to eight toddlers with two staff and includes support for toilet training in a shared bathroom with preschool.
Our preschool is split into two groups—Owls and Owlets—based on school year, allowing age-appropriate activities and school readiness support.
Children enjoy a spacious, well-equipped room with areas for crafts, roleplay, reading, and more, plus access to the front garden for continuous provision and independence. Activities are planned around each child’s interests and developmental goals, covering all areas of the EYFS. With access to toilets and a designated changing area, children are supported through toilet training as needed, while also building confidence, motor skills, and emotional regulation.
