I provide a warm and friendly learning environment where children can play, develop and most importantly have fun! As well as having access to a variety of resources indoors, the children are also free to run about and explore our garden and play equipment.
I provide lots of opportunities for the children to explore and learn about our world, with Hamworthy Park and Beach, Cobbs Quay, Poole Quay and Upton Country Park all within walking distance. We also enjoy woodland walks, trips to the local library, soft play, toddler groups and Farmer Palmers. I am fully qualified and OFSTED registered and I follow the EYFS framework and support children to reach their full potential.
