About Pelican
Pelican started life in 1988 as a parent/toddler group where other parents could meet and support each other. The response was very positive and Keyham Barton Parent Toddler group was formed. In 1989 we moved to the dining hall of Drake primary school. We opened offering morning sessions to 3 and 4 year olds term time.

Nursery
The nursery comprises of a galley kitchen where healthy snacks are prepared daily, alongside a variety of playrooms where we provide a wide range of activities that are based around your child’s development and interests.
Children are supported with their intimate care in a separate monitored area with both toileting and nappy changing. Children also have frequent access to explore the garden weather permitting.
Our environment is warm, friendly and enriching for both staff and children. Staff to children ratios within the setting allow us to help children become independent, self-confident learners.
