The nursery offers an open plan layout with separate toilets for children and adults. All toilets and hand basins are child size to promote independence and good hygiene practices. Furthermore, we also have a substantial natural garden which is made up of different areas for the children to learn and explore in. The nursery also has a kitchen area where snacks are prepared by the nursery staff. The nursery works in partnership with St Mary’s CE Primary School and is also very fortunate to be able to use some of the school’s facilities with the nursery children. Please note that we welcome children that go onto any school in the area.
At St Mary’s Nursery Group we believe that parents/carers are paramount in their child’s welfare and early years’ education.
