Our Nursery
Our nursery is located just around the corner from the main school building on Hazel Avenue. We offer places to 3- and 4-year-olds and have a September intake and also a January intake. The purpose-built Early Years setting was previously the local Children’s Centre and has indoor and outdoor space with many different areas of provision to help your child develop the following skills:
- Communication and language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Literacy
- Maths
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
We are very proud of our nursery and the work that we do to get all children ‘school-ready’. This work was highlighted in our recent Ofsted Inspection.
‘Children get off to a good start in early years. The curriculum is shaped well to support children’s early learning and development.’ Ofsted, November 2021.
