About us

Our nursery

Growing little hearts and minds together. Our early years team gives every child caring, attentive support to play, learn and grow.

Children chasing bubbles in the garden

We are in a quiet but central spot in the grounds of Prior Pursglove College, with great facilities and resources, and we have created a warm, friendly place where your child can thrive. We encourage children to follow their own curiosity, explore their world and develop new skills in a carefully prepared space for learning and play.

Our rooms

Our rooms are based on development as well as age, so every child can grow and learn at their own pace.
