I have had the pleasure of being headteacher here for over ten years now and feel incredibly proud of our ethos and culture of compassion, inclusivity and wellbeing. At the heart of our village community, our church school and nursery vision—Make great choices, be our best—is the guiding force behind everything we do; enabling all of our children to develop the foundation they need to flourish.

Set in a delightful rural location, our nursery rooms benefit from well-developed and resourced outdoor spaces, including two gardens and a forest school. Our classrooms offer safe, stimulating, fun and happy spaces for your child to explore within a teacher-led environment.

Our approach focuses on creating a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where each child has a dedicated Key Worker who builds strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families. This personalised approach ensures every child feels seen and supported from the very start.

It would be my pleasure to show you the nursery in greater depth and enable you to meet the staff who will be caring for your child. We are here to make the start of your child's nursery and school journey as smooth as possible.

I look forward to meeting you and your child very soon.
