Hello to all parents looking for an enriched homely relaxed caring environment which is stimulating, fun and welcoming to all young children. I am a Ofsted registered setting which opened in 2002 having built up a wealth of experience over the years being very reliable, supportive and trustworthy.

All 7 areas of the EYFS are covered through natural learning being child lead or focused learning. My Ofsted reports are available to read electronically online having an Outstanding grading for the last three inspections.
I regularly attend training to refresh ideas, learn about new government guidelines which help to keep our policies up to date. My training file can be viewed on a setting visit covering all relevant courses required and many more. Parents feedback, questionnaires and learning journeys can also be shown.
Children are able to attend from 2 months old up-to leaving for Primary School at the age of 4 years old continuation of childcare helps children’s confidence grow knowing who we are as strong bonds are formed.
We are able to accommodate Lancashire County Council funded placements of 15 hours or 30 hours being an accredited setting.

Childcare places are in high demand at the moment especially baby places we are only allowed two babies under one year old at anytime being a setting of two adults carers which enables us to care for additional children.

My son has attended here for just over a year. Absolutely fantastic setting. The only reason he moved was due to us moving area. Both child minders are attentive and caring and my nerves were settled very quickly after my son, who started at 10 months, began their setting.
Lots of activities such as trips out (pre-COVID), craft, dancing, dress up, large woodland area for plays and walks locally, list is endless. Stunning location. Cannot speak highly enough.
Thank you.
