Magic review! Thank you. We are a prestigious Quality Mark Award holder in early years and management are very committed to ensuring that personalised learning opportunities are inspiring and provided in a safe and fun environment. We work hard on early communications with a Makaton in particular, we teach staff and children a sign of the week. Please ask staff what this weeks sign is! I will pass on your praise to staff. Thank you for your time. Read less

Thank you for your positive comments. We do take safety seriously and constantly review our policies and practices. We now do lock-down drills as well as a fire drill. We even have risk assessment checklists for our children to have a go at completing so that they begin to have an awareness of reducing dangers themselves. The food we provide during snack time is locally grown from our local greengrocer who provides a range of fruit and veg. Unfortunately, due to our small size as a pre-school we are unable to offer hot meals and packed lunch remains the only option at lunch times currently. Thank you for your time in writing a review. We hope that you continue to enjoy the sparkle! Read less

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It is good to hear that we are nearly excellent in all the areas in your opinion. Please do ask your child's key person about the range of resources we have and the ICT we use on a daily basis; our interactive white board screen, our tablets, children's camera's and electronic toys, phones, calculators and more. We recently have also invested in Education City which is a programme that is currently used on our tablets for learning in all areas. It is particularly good for aiding phonics and counting. Unfortunately we are limited with what we are able to have in our outdoor area as we rent the property from the Scouts. We do have a mini-beast area, sand pit, wheeled bikes and a range of outdoor toys to develop gross motor skills as well as other areas of learning. Our snack table offers a choice of various fruit and veg with milk and water daily which is accessible throughout every session. Read less
