- Large freeflow area including role play zones to let the children’s creative juices flow!
- Regular trips out to the nature reserve and nearby town
“We provide a truly enriching Early Years education, where every child’s potential is reached, and individuality is celebrated. We pride ourselves on developing a range of educational activities and outdoor adventures, led by the children’s curiosity, to spark their imagination and foster a love of learning” said Matt Cornford, Managing Director.

We are thrilled to finally be opening our doors in Lewes, the town I grew up in, whilst in turn supporting the government’s expansion of funded hours that we know is so vitally important to working families”
