Children learn best through play.  As practitioners we appreciate the learning which takes places when children are able to follow their own ideas and are supported by an adult who can enable their learning by respecting, understanding, and allowing children empowerment over their environment.  We celebrate a child’s uniqueness and encourage respect and social interaction.

Our vision for future development is to continue to offer a good quality provision to the community, which is open and inclusive to all, supporting children’s individual needs and allowing freedom of choice and growth within a safe and happy environment.
