NURSERY

WELCOME TO OUR NURSERY

At St Nicholas' School, we welcome girls and boys into our Nursery from 2 years 9 months (the term of their third birthday). The years leading up to your child’s fifth birthday are their most formative and some of the most important.

Our warm and welcoming Nursery, fondly known as “Branksomewood”, is our ‘home from home’.  Nestled within the trees we offer a friendly and supportive environment where children flourish. Bright and appealing, our Nursery is equipped with all the resources required to meet the needs of young inquiring minds. With small class sizes, we tailor our approach to the individual needs of your child, ensuring they actively enjoy every session.

Children learn in a warm, safe and exciting environment and are encouraged to develop in confidence by taking risks with their learning, increasing their self-belief, and developing their independence through a better understanding of their skills and ability. Learning in our Nursery is approached through a play-based curriculum, nurturing each and every child to ensure they develop into happy learners.

Our Nursery provides an enhanced educational journey that prepares children for a successful school experience. As we are an all-through school, our Nursery children benefit from using the school's fantastic facilities and being taught by specialist teachers. We foster a love of lifelong learning and encourage the development of children’s characters throughout their time with us. 

By the time our children progress to Reception, they have developed a genuine love for learning that continues to grow.
