Just yourselves. Visits take around 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll meet the team, see the rooms, and have time to ask questions. No paperwork required on the day.

We follow Ofsted-mandated ratios as a minimum and often exceed them. Babies (under 2): 1:3. Toddlers (2-3): 1:4. Preschool (3-5): 1:8. Every child has an assigned key worker who knows them individually. We have over 50 staff members across the nursery.

Every child has three settling-in sessions before they start. These are short, supervised visits where your child spends time in their room with their key worker. You’re welcome to stay nearby. The process is designed to make the transition gentle and positive for both you and your child.

We use the Parentzone app to send you real-time updates throughout the day, including photos, activities, meals, nappies, and milestones. You’ll always know how your child’s day is going, and our door is always open for face-to-face conversations.
