Manager Cath Davies said: “With input from all staff members and working hard as a team especially during the last two years we are always looking to improve our practice allowing children to experience awe and wonder during their time with us.

“We have been working on our environment indoors and out as we had only just moved into our new building a few weeks before the first lockdown.

“Our ethos is for happy, healthy, confident children with our vision for children to grow as individuals whilst having fun, making friends, building trusting relationships within our St Vincent’s family which enables children to feel loved and supported.

“We have a great partnership with our parents, carers and St Vincent’s Primary School and we want to thank them all for their continued support and really appreciate their valued input into the setting.”
