At PAWS we take play very seriously. It is the cornerstone of everything we do and how our children learn.

We value fun and the freedom to be ourselves, amongst friends.

We think of our staff as the scaffolding that supports your growing child. All children are different, so the structure we build around each child is unique and stays in place for as long as they need it. Our job is to show them everyone has unique qualities and will succeed in their own way.

Our children learn early that they and their peers are without exception worthy of respect – little minds full of self-worth.

PAWS might be small but we are broadminded. We explore life and culture through music literature, dance, exercise and food. We teach children about the world, as well as what’s on their doorstep.

And what a doorstep – open green spaces and beautiful countryside. We get our boots muddy as often as we can.

With a quick hop over to our primary school, our children frequently get a sneak peek into what big school has to offer. We know and love our village too and often work together.
