Nursery
Miss Hedley
Welcome to our Nursery class page Your teachers are Miss Hedley and Ms Mather
Your teaching Assistants are Miss Mahon and Miss McIntyre
Our dedicated Nursery provision is led by qualified teachers and teaching assistants and is an integral part of the school allowing 3-4 year olds to flourish and develop within the caring and calm environment.
Located in its own spacious purpose built section of the school, the Nursery has its own safe and secure outdoor play area offering extensive opportunities for stimulating play and exciting exploration.
We aim to ensure your child develops significantly within the EYFS framework so that they are very well prepared to enter Reception and thrive throughout their school life.
We accept 52 children each year who join over a phased period in September. Please see admissions section to apply.
Rights Respecting Schools
We are a 'Rights Respecting' school. We are currently focusing on Article 7, 28, 29 and 31
We all have a right to a name
The right to go to school and learn
Your right to relax and play
The right to be the best you can
For further information about the children's 'Rights Respecting' charter, follow the link below:

Admissions to the Nursery class are currently administered by the school and application forms are available from the school office. Alternatively, you can download the form here. If your child has a Nursery place, it does not automatically mean that they will attend The Willows Reception class. You must still apply to the local authority if you want your child to attend our Reception class.
