About us
A welcoming and supportive environment for your little ones to grow, learn and play.
Our philosophy
We offer a stimulating environment where social development, natural curiosity and interest is promoted. We actively encourage good manners, kindness and respect for everyone and everything.
​
We know that children learn through their play. At our nursery, your little ones will be encouraged to use their own ideas in activities and they will be given the space to let their imagination flow.
​
Through play and gentle encouragement, the children explore, learn and develop.
​
Our setting
The nursery is located in the Cricket Pavilion at Great Chishill, a picturesque village on the border of South Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, amongst fields and rolling countryside. We are next to a very large playing field with all the safe and secure outside space your little ones could want.
​
There is also a large and secure car park for parents to use to drop off and pick up safely. The Pavilion offers a comfortable, bright and airy learning space for the children.

"The well-established staff team regularly reflects on their practice. They seek children's views on activities and incorporate their ideas into the planning. The manager uses meetings well to update staff on new initiatives and to discuss how they can continually improve the good outcomes for children.
