Welcome and thank you for your interest in our School Nursery.

Children join us each September for their pre-school year—this is the academic year (September to August) in which they turn four years old. We also accept applications throughout the year for a start at the beginning of each term.

Our experienced and qualified team is passionate about Early Years education and dedicated to providing every child with the chance to have fun, learn, and achieve through play. We offer a safe, caring, and stimulating environment that follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

We understand that each child is unique, and we work closely with parents and carers to support their individual needs.

We hope you find the information you’re looking for on this page. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
