Head of Centre Welcome

Welcome to the Norcot Early Years Centre website.

 

My involvement with Norcot started as a parent in 2007. I soon realised that Norcot was a very special place, where my child thrived. Being a teacher, I wanted to get more involved. I became a Governor and then was invited to join the staff team. I was delighted to be promoted to Head of the Centre. We are all incredibly proud of our Centre and believe that we offer children the best possible start in their life and enrich their cultural capital . Staff and Governors work very hard to provide every child with an outstanding learning opportunity tailored to their individual needs. As a large Centre we can provide our children with superb resources and we also ensure that we maintain a family friendly atmosphere. Not only the child, but the whole family is at the core of everything we do.




We hope our website gives you a flavour of all that we can offer your child, but a visit in person is the only way to truly appreciate the unique atmosphere of our Centre.  Please give us a call to book a show round visit.
