About Our Nursery

  • Our nursery school opens from 8.30am-3.00pm, Monday to Friday, each term.  


  • We provide sessions of 3 hours, Monday to Friday.  Mornings: 9:00am to 12 noon (earlier drop-off is available, which includes breakfast). Afternoon: 12 noon to 3:00pm. Full Day: 9.00am to 3.00pm.


  • At our nursery school, we take great pride in our team of highly qualified and experienced practitioners. Each member of our dedicated staff has extensive expertise in early childhood education and has been an integral part of our team for many years.


  • Our team's longevity and commitment are a testament to their passion for nurturing and supporting children's development. They bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience to create a warm and engaging environment for your little ones.


  •  Our nursery school boasts a spacious main room, providing ample space for various activities. Additionally, we have a dedicated room, perfect for quieter pursuits and focused learning.
     

  • We are ideally situated in the residential area of Chineham on Hanmore Road. Our location holds great convenience for families, as we are in close proximity to local schools. Many parents and children find it convenient to walk to our nursery while dropping off or picking up older siblings. For those who prefer to drive, we offer a spacious car park for hassle-free drop-offs and pick-ups.


  • At our nursery school, we believe in fostering both structure and free play to facilitate the learning and development of our children. Through a carefully crafted balance of guided activities and independent exploration, we encourage each child to become a confident individual while forming lasting friendships with their peers.


  • To ensure the safety and security of our children, we have created an enclosed garden area, as well as access to a large field belonging to the local Scout group. This allows our children to enjoy the benefits of outdoor play in a protected environment.


  • In line with our commitment to holistic learning, we also host regular Inspired Forest School sessions. This innovative approach to education utilises the natural outdoor environment as a powerful learning tool, sparking curiosity and nurturing a deep connection with nature.


  • We accept Government Funded Childcare.
