Our team of dedicated, professional nursery practitioners help children to settle into our nursery, giving them the very best care whilst ensuring that the Early Years Foundation stage is being implemented in a fun and stimulating way.
Open 50 weeks per year, we take children from birth to 5 years of age, with a dedicated baby room which is safe and secure. Children are allocated a key worker who will help them settle and develop the skills they need as they grow.
Our outside space at Beach Buddies is somewhere where all the children love to play and explore.

All that fun and fresh air makes for happy, healthy children.
