It registered as a charity (1035672) in 1994 and later with Ofsted to offer sessional day care for up to 30 children. We are registered with the Local Education Authority (LEA) to receive single funding formula and are members of the Pre-school Learning Alliance. The pre-school accepts funded children aged two and three and a half.
