About us
We strive for a happy balance between play, academic skills and social skills, with the goal of promoting a friendly, positive first-school experience that will last a lifetime.
​
Our ethos is to create an environment that gives children a feeling of security and happiness whist encouraging curiosity, exploration and experimentation – the foundations of learning.
Discovery and play in the outdoors are an important part of Merry Go Round life and we’re very proud to be able to offer Forest School sessions with our own qualified Forest School Leader.
We also have a beautiful, natural garden which allows our children to enjoy the many benefits that exploration in the outdoors offers.
