Our provision is a suitable, clean and safe place for children to be cared for, where they can grow and learn. We meet all statutory requirements for health and safety and fulfil the criteria for meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements.
We are in the process of reviewing all of our our policies, procedures and website to make sure we are meeting the new Early Years Foundation Stage 2021.
