The Nursery Team
Welcome to our nursery! At our nursery, children will embark on an enriching journey of self-discovery and learning about their families. They will explore the nursery environment, engaging in play, sharing activities, and forging new friendships. Through singing, storytelling, and fun counting exercises, our little ones will develop key skills while having a great time. Parents can expect to receive a weekly home learning sheet to stay informed about their child's nursery experience. Let's make learning and growing together a wonderful adventure!
