Our Early Years pupils enjoy a wide range of activities, learning to play and work together in small, personal groups.

We emphasise building your child’s sense of security and social and behavioural skills. We find that it is from these solid foundations that our children explore, learn and flourish.

Children are encouraged and their developments recognised and celebrated to build self - esteem and confidence. We particularly value the partnership between parents and staff. We want you to feel comfortable talking to us and we welcome your observations and knowledge of your child. Quite simply, you are the most valuable partner in your child’s development.

Located in the peaceful, safe surroundings of The Mount, children can enter our Nursery during the term after their second birthday.

    Assessments of children’s development and progress is of a very high standard and through staff’s dedicated practice and the extensive range of worthwhile activities on offer each day, children are making excellent progress towards the early learning goals.
