At Unity Nursery we can accommodate up to 26 2-4-year olds. We offer a safe, friendly and fun environment for your children to explore and grow. Your child will learn through a range of child led play and adult initiated activities that will support their development and help them grow into independent learners. Our curriculum is based on the Development Matters Framework with added elements to ensure that it is personalised to our children.
