The school is run in a large, modern rented building. It comprises an
entrance hall where the children hang their coats and shoe bags
and where there is always a staff member to greet and mark them
in at the beginning of each session. On the days when our secretary
is in school her desk is situated in this friendly and busy area
so that parents can have access to her.
Off the entrance area we have a kitchen which is out of bounds to the
children except if they need the Mr. Bump ice pack from the fridge!
There are 3 toilets and 3 urinals and we have a small area to change
children who are still in trainer pants.
There is a small quiet room that we use for story and singing times. The
main classroom is a large almost square room with plenty of room for
the children to have a wide choice of activities every session. When
the children's furniture is cleared away, they can dance and have
p/e activities in this large classroom. At lunch times, the activity
and work tables are disinfected and the lunch children sit in small
groups to eat their packed lunches.

Outside we have a grassed area and a tarmac area. Once all the families
have left, the gates are securely locked and the enclosed site
offers plenty of space for the children to play and move around.
The ducks and the swans who swim along the river next to our
outdoor area, add another interest for the outdoor play times.
