The nursery holds both nursery and playgroup sessions. Your child will have the opportunity to play indoors and outdoors during their session. In addition to a wonderfully equipped garden and adventure playground, the nursery has three rooms for your child's education and play.

On offer will be climbing, construction, role-play, craft activities, water and sand play, floor play, a book corner, a quiet area, a computer station and much more. Your child is unlikely to be bored!

The Nursery Teacher and Staff, all qualified in childcare, are enthusiastic, professional and caring with numerous years of experience. Most have been at the nursery for many years.

We work closely with parents to ensure that our nursery and playgroup is an extension of a loving and caring home.

Our ethos is to encourage each child to...

The Nursery Day 

9.00am – 12.00 noon 

Children are brought to their teacher just before 9.00am.  Parents are encouraged to assist children with taking their coat off etc. in the cloakroom, whilst allowing them to enter their classroom independently. 

Playtime is 10.15am – 10.30am.  Children have their own playground to the rear of the school and their own collection of large toys.  Before play, children have a snack.

Optional Lunch hour

12.30 pm – 1.30 pm  

Nursery children may stay at school for an additional hour until 1.30 pm.  A Nursery Assistant supervises them in the school hall.  All children staying for this hour bring a packed lunch.  The structured session  consists of eating lunch together, outside play on apparatus or with large toys and a quiet period for story and rhyme.    

The Playgroup Day 

12.00 pm – 3.00pm 

Children are brought to their teacher just before 12.00 noon.  Parents are encouraged to assist children with taking their coat off etc, whilst allowing them to enter their classroom independently.
