Welcome to our Nursery, where our youngest learners begin their exciting journey through our Acorn Room (2-4 years old) and Oak 1 room (3-4 years old). Our Nursery provides a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children aged 2–4, where curiosity and a love of learning flourish.

Our youngest learning in Acorn room (2-3 year olds), follow their own unique learning journeys through Music and Movement, Forest School, and daily Rhyme Time, building strong foundations in communication, confidence, and curiosity. Our 3–4-year-olds in Oak 1 and Acorn share learning experiences in phonics, P.E., and Forest School, developing early independence and collaborative skills as they explore and learn together.

Our experienced and passionate staff work closely across both rooms to plan exciting, challenging, and purposeful opportunities that support every child’s communication and language, personal, social and emotional development, and physical development—both fine and gross motor.

At the heart of everything we do is our school vision: Learning, Enjoying and Succeeding Together—where every child is encouraged to explore, discover, and grow with confidence and joy.
