If you are looking for high quality Ofsted-regulated childcare for your child, you have come to the right place
We provide full and part-time day care (and flexibility when possible) for children in the 6 weeks to 5 years age group. In the nursery world there is nothing more important than being able to trust the person looking after your child. Our nurseries all have secure entry systems making each location a safe and secure place for your child.
We believe that healthy, interesting, nutritious meals are of fundamental importance, which is why at each nursery we employ a cook to prepare home cooked meals on site in our own kitchens on a daily basis.
Our nurseries are all registered with Ofsted, and rated GOOD.

With over 15 years of experience in the education sector, including co-owning a successful 150-place private day nursery and lecturing at university level, Victoria brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and leadership to the role.
Throughout her career, she has focused on nurturing strong, supportive relationships between early years settings and families, with a particular emphasis on the key person approach.

“I’ve always believed that the foundation of a successful early years’ experience lies in open, honest communication between our teams and the parents and carers we work with.
