Introduction

Nursery class are taught by Miss Muldowney, supported by Mrs Downing, Mrs Herdman and Mrs Short.

Our Nursery provides a stimulating, fun and secure environment which allows children to flourish by learning through play. They will develop a love of learning and gain a strong foundation for starting school.

Our classroom and outdoor space aims to provide the best learning experiences for all our children, whatever their needs may be.
