We are delighted to be launching our new website, which includes all the settings, schools and services that The IDEAL Alliance supports.

Our stakeholders have chosen this name because it focusses on the key values that we are aiming to reflect throughout all of our work and support our communities. 

I = inclusion

D = diversity

E = equity

A = achievement

L = leadership

We are ambitious for all of our children to be successful in achieving their personal best, and we endeavour to adapt opportunities and learning so that this is possible for everyone. 

Within our alliance we have a primary school, two nursery schools and three PVI nursery settings. We cater for children from 0 to 11 years old across the alliance in three different parts of the city: Plympton, Ham and Estover. Across all of our settings, we offer support from our Parent Support Advisor, who is available for you to contact through her number: 07740121503.

We also manage the Local Authority team who offer an advisory speech and language service for children from 0 to 5 years old across Plymouth. If you have any questions regarding your child's needs, then your child's nursery is able to access this free service to ask for advice and support.

For the last two years, we have also been running the Early Years South West Stronger Practice Hub for the whole of the south-west. This is a DfE funded resource that offers evidence-based research training, bespoke support and advice to all nurseries and child minders across the South-west, from Dorset to the Isles of Scilly. If you would like to receive updates on our webinars, networks, training and advice, then please visit this section of the website. 

We are very excited about what we can achieve together through our commitment to serving our communities.
