Children’s happiness is our first priority, which is why we aspire to provide an environment that is joyful and fun whilst at the same time stimulating and supportive for each child we care for.
Our Nurseries are based on Woodbourne Road and Park Road in Douglas. They have bright and cheerful indoor rooms with age appropriate toys and activities for children to enjoy, and outside at Woodbourne Road there is a spacious and secure garden to explore and play.
From birth to five years our children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and our staff offer opportunities to experience and enjoy all forms of play and learning.

Age matters
Our children are grouped into departments according to their age:
