Nursery
The Nursery is open Monday to Friday from 09:15 - 11:45 for 3 and 4 year olds.
We offer a wide range of activities in the Nursery and include the outdoor environment as much as possible.

The nursery class at the school was given a glowing report by the HMI in 2006.
The inspectors noted the following strengths:
- bright, attractive and stimulating environment, with a good range of resources
- very good quality of staff interaction and the value staff placed on chidren's contributions
- children's motivation, levels of concentration and enthusiasm for learning
- very good programmes in all 5 key aspects of the curriculum
- commitment of the head teacher, the depute head teacher and the nursery staff to continuous improvement.
The inspectors also reported the quality of organisation and planning, and the high quality play experiences. The strong partnership with parents was also highlighted, as was the arrangements for transition from nuresry to primary.
