Our team

Staff at West Wight Nursery provide education and care within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Play underpins learning and development and staff provide a balance of child initiated and adult led play based activities to meet each child's developmental needs.

Children flourish in all areas of their development and develop the skills they need for life long learning." - Ofsted 2022.
