We have a 26 place Nursery which is open mornings only from 08:50–11.50, 5 days a week and has one intake a year.
Our Nursery is well established with experienced, caring staff who want to give your child a flying start to their school career!
The spacious Nursery has recently been refurbished and provides a highly stimulating and supportive environment where children flourish.
The Nursery class, in common with all classes in the school, plays a full part in the life of the school community. Nursery children regularly visit the main school building and participate fully in many areas of school life such as school assemblies, class visits, performances and productions, and the children are very familiar with all school staff. Reception and Nursery staff work very closely together and so there is a very smooth transition to Reception.
