New Nursery Opening

19th February 2018
 
ENROL NOW
 
Applications for our new school nursery are now open.
 
We are delighted to open the application process and welcome our first cohort of children to our new school nursery, which will open in September 2018 for 3 & 4 year olds.  The nursery will  operate with a dedicated class teacher and specialist early years practitioners, as well as working alongside our Reception class in a safe, stimulating environment. 
 
We know that high quality pre-school experiences particularly when working with a qualified teacher, have lasting effects throughout the early years of primary school and the children will have the chance to play and learn following the children's own interests, allowing them to gain confidence and social skills.  We believe in getting children active as much as possible and aim to offer a wide range of activities and high quality learning opportunities for your children to help prepare for school life and beyond. 
 
We look forward to welcoming your child to our school family.
