Each child in the Nursery is encouraged to develop at his or her own pace in a secure, safe and stimulating environment. High priority is given to the personal and social development of each child.  By the end of their time in the Nursery, the staff aim to ensure that the children are confident, happy, motivated, considerate and eager to learn.

The refurbished Nursery now meets the highest standards of health and safety. The bright and airy rooms are complemented by the newly created, secure outdoor play area which provides adequate shade during the sunny summer terms.

The children are taught in groups of eight by fully qualified specialist staff under the leadership of the dedicated Head of Nursery. The day is divided into periods of free play and structured activities. Children are encouraged to experiment, explore and create. In Upper Nursery there is greater emphasis on the introduction of Literacy and Numeracy skills. Letter sounds and numbers are introduced and pencil control is developed through drawing, tracing and colouring. Fine motor skills are improved through cutting, sticking and modelling, while activities on large apparatus and wheeled toys develop gross motor skills. 

The Nursery programme follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Dance is taught by a specialist teacher.
