Nursery

ENROL NOW

Applications for our school nursery are now open.

Sacred Heart Nursery opened in September 2018 for 3 & 4 year olds.  The nursery is part of our Early Years Foundation Stage and is lead by an specialist early years class teacher, as well as working alongside other early years staff and 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 beyond.  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. 

 

We look forward to welcoming your child to our school family.
