The children benefit from a wide variety of indoor and outdoor play spaces where they can experience the excitement of exploration and discovery. Both our outdoor play equipment and our rich indoor learning environment offer opportunities for holistic and challenging learning.

Prioritising emotional and mental well-being

The mental and emotional well being of our children is our priority. Our aim is to give the children strategies to deal with both the ups and downs of life. We nurture confidence, self-reflection and self-worth. “A child who is happy in themselves can fly”.

Our Mission Statement

The highest form of wisdom is kindness - Talmud

Every day we recite the Shema, a Jewish prayer that reminds us that our thoughts, our words and our actions have consequences for both good and bad and we have the power to choose. We nurture and inspire our children to make the right choices.

Our aim is to give our children a secure sense of who they are and a sense of pride in their own identity. By giving them the skills and knowledge to be life-long learners who have the confidence to reach their full potential they can help create a better world.
