As a Maintained Nursery School (MNS), we are funded and controlled by the Local Authority (LA) just like all other LA schools. We are led by a headteacher and employ qualified teachers as part of our staff. Successive governments have called MNS ‘the jewel in the crown’ of early years education because of the levels of expertise of staff and the outstanding progress that children who attend MNS make to age 5 and beyond.

We accept children from 2 to 5 years old and offer up to 30 hours of free nursery education (subject to availability).  In addition to this, we run a breakfast club from 8:00 - 9:00am each morning and an after-school club from 3:30 - 5:30pm (Monday - Thursday), which is chargeable.

Turtles and Starfish classes are our 2-3 year old classrooms and Jellyfish and Dolphin classes are our 3-4 year old classrooms.  We offer a broad and balanced provision following the Early Years Foundation Stage within our 4 classes and outdoor spaces.  All classes are staffed by qualified teachers or early years practitioners. Each child has their own Key Worker who works in partnership with the parents to ensure the best outcomes for the children.
