The Nursery was the overall winner of The News, Best School Category at the recent “We Can Do It” community awards ceremony held at the Kings Theatre, for our Portage Provision – being the first nursery in Portsmouth to achieve this.  This enables all children to access quality childcare.
We are very pleased and proud!

We have been successful in achieving Millie’s Mark which is an award for outstanding first aid knowledge and practice for our nursery practitioners. It means they have all been trained in paediatric first aid and that they show an in depth understanding of first aid procedures for young children. We are very proud to be among the first to receive this award locally.
