Nursery
The aims of our foundation stage unit are that all of our children are/can:
- happy, self-confident and resilient;
- responsible, mindful, caring and active members if the wider world;
- think and learn independently and develop a love of learning;
- feel included and be supported to flourish and unique individuals;
- equipped with the learning and life skills needed to keep themselves safe and well prepare for the future.
Children benefit from high staff: child ratios and a caring, nurturing, secure and stimulating environment which recognises the unique talents of every child. We aim to inspire awe and wonder in our children and follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum - a child centred play-based approach to learning.
We offer your child:
- Access to a wide and varied range of activities and resources tailored to their needs and interests, working through the Early Years Foundation Stage
- Individual care and attention made possible by a high adult to child ratio
- Fun and friendship with children and other adults
- Support of a key person
- Smooth transitions, where we are so closely linked, onto the next stage of their education
All parents and carers are encouraged to be fully involved in all aspects of their child’s care and education whilst in our setting, through regular keyperson meetings, passing of information within their communication books and verbally on a day to day basis. We survey our parents / carers on their childcare and education needs so that we can provide them with the best possible services.

The 2 Year Old Funding and Early Years Entitlement for 3 and 4-year-olds, is funded by Devon County Council. We can, of course, offer additional chargeable sessions for you above your funded hours, including all day sessions. For children in the term after their 3rd birthday, this is chargeable at £4.08 per hour over their termly entitlement (£4.10 from 1st April 2020), and for children over 2 until the term after their 3rd birthday, this is chargeable at £4.90 per hour (£4.98 from 1st April 2020) over their termly entitlement, to reflect the legal requirement to have one adult to every four children in this age group. We do not add any other charges or costs to our fees.
We can accept Childcare Vouchers through your employer’s scheme as payment – please check with our school administrator for the providers we are registered with.
