About the Employer

The daycare has been open since 1986, and we are Ofsted registered. Our recent Ofsted was good. We aim to provide a fun, friendly and stimulating environment for all children we care for.

The daycare is based on the grounds of William Patten School; we are a private, independent nursery.

The staff at the daycare are fully qualified to care for children and attend training courses regularly to help promote their childcare knowledge.

The children have access to many learning resources and are always supported by positive staff members.

The daycare has an outside area called the secret garden where children have access to physical equipment, natural resources, including the mud kitchen and open-ended resources to investigate on the investigation table!
