Our School / Nursery

Where curiosity takes root.

Nursery is where structured learning begins — play-based, language-rich and full of discovery, building the confidence and early skills that carry a child into Primary.

Nursery

Learning through play, guided with purpose.

Children learn best when they feel secure, seen and excited to explore. Our Nursery programme turns that into a daily plan.

Through stories, songs, art, movement and structured play, children build early literacy and numeracy, listening and speaking skills, fine and gross motor control, and the social habits — sharing, waiting, taking turns — that make a happy classroom.

The Nursery programme

What children learn.

Language & literacy

Listening, speaking, phonics awareness, story time and early mark-making.

Early mathematics

Counting, sorting, shapes, patterns and simple problem-solving through play.

Creativity

Art, music, role-play and messy play that build imagination and expression.

Physical development

Movement, outdoor play and fine-motor activities that build coordination.

Social & emotional

Sharing, turn-taking, independence and confidence in a group.

Discovery

Simple science, nature and the world around us, explored hands-on.

Midday

Moving up

A smooth step into Primary.

Nursery is designed as the bridge to Primary. As children approach school age, teachers introduce more structured routines, early reading and writing, and classroom independence — so the move into Primary feels like a natural next step rather than a jump.
