Our philosophy is “Children’s play is their work” At Cygnets we promote learning through play by following the children’s interests and looking for teachable moments where we can extend and embed learning. If children are involved in making their own choices they become more independent and confident in their learning.

What is ITM planning?

Your children will be educated in an environment where their intellectual abilities and self-esteem grow, where imagination and curiosity are cultivated, where critical thinking and competencies flourish, and where they learn to respect all cultures, value others and their opinions. Children are able to be provided with a freshly cooked hot meal for a charge of £2.00 per meal, please see our news and info page for more details.

“Children are extremely happy and actively engage in activities, building a vast range of exciting and lasting memories to treasure. They have exceptionally high levels of confidence and self-esteem and thrive in the care of the dedicated and highly committed staff team. Children thoroughly enjoy their time, excel in everything they do and feel extremely safe.” “OFSTED 2020”
