Nursery

The Nursery is situated at the heart of the school community. For children to become successful learners, they need to feel happy, safe and secure in their everyday learning world.

Emphasis is placed on providing a positive environment within which we enable the children to become active and competent learners. Communication between school and home is open and consistent.

Qualified practitioners, on-going assessment and healthy class sizes allows us to modify learning to meet the needs of the individual child.

Children are naturally imaginative and inquisitive and we encourage and support this by providing stimulating activities through purposeful play. Outdoor activity is as valued as classroom-based learning and our children enjoy the space they have to explore. Educational visits and in-house parent activities are also enjoyed and enhance learning opportunities.

We accept children as rising threes and these, our youngest pupils, join our Woodpeckers group. Parents choose a minimum of three sessions (morning or afternoon), often increasing the number of sessions (subject to availability) as the year progresses. The Sparrows and Starlings groups are for children who turn four during the academic year. Children attend for a minimum of five week day sessions (morning or afternoon) and may elect to stay for the full school day too - lunch is provided.

Our Nursery pupils all wear school uniform which is designed for comfort and independence.

 

We are proud to be part of a Top 20 Nursery Group in the UK!

We are proud to share that Inspired Learning Group (ILG), the family of schools and nurseries we are part of, has been named one of the Top 20 Large Nursery Groups in the UK by Daynurseries.co.uk - a leading review platform for childcare.

This recognition is based on genuine reviews from parents and carers across all ILG settings. It’s a reflection of the care, education and commitment shown every day by our teams - and a reassurance for families that your child is in safe, nurturing and high-quality hands.

What this means for you and your child:

• Shared expertise: As part of a successful group, we benefit from best practices across 30+ settings — bringing innovative learning, curriculum enrichment and outstanding care into our nursery.
• Continuous improvement: ILG supports every nursery with training, development, and investment, ensuring we continue to raise standards and deliver the best outcomes for children.
• Personal touch, with the strength of a group: While each nursery retains its own unique character, being part of ILG means we’re backed by a trusted network that shares the same high expectations and values.

This award recognises the strength of our group, but more importantly, the impact it has on the day-to-day experience of your child.
