Nursery Building and Facilities
Appletree is situated in an attractively converted stable block which is set in a well protected, six acre smallholding. The children love the resident ducks, chickens, geese and sheep, and lambs.
There is also a fenced outside play area that is completely secure. We actively encourage the children to have "fresh air" every day. We have a large selection of sit'n'ride toys and trikes. On those bad weather days, we have an indoor gym room with a ball pool, slide and tunnels which the children love to play in.
We have decorated the rooms in nice bright, fun colours, to make it welcoming for the children.

Parking and Security
Appletree has a good sized car park off the main road where parents can safely park when dropping off and picking up their children. For added security, there is an intercom system at the main entrance.
Special Needs Children
We believe that all children are equal and deserve an equal start in life. If you have a child with special needs, we would like to encourage you to come and chat to us about how we may be able to help.
