Session Times

At Crescent Under Fives, we use an Online Learning Journal for Early Years Education called Tapestry. 

Tapestry is a wonderful way for parents to see how their child spends their time with us and we use this as our main form of communication.

Parents can also share photos, videos and notes from home. These are very much encouraged and give a great talking point between staff and your child. 

At Crescent Under Fives we have a dedicated team who have many years of experience.

We have 5 Key Carers, who are all qualified to NVQ level 3, equivalent, or higher.  Our key carers are supported by our team of play workers who are very experienced and valued. 

We have an Admin team who are in Monday - Friday between 9:00 - 12:00 who are on hand to answer any questions and queries.
