Moving to Reception – How we help your child get ready for their move to Primary School.
Starting Primary School can be an exciting milestone – the next big adventure! But it can also bring up lots of different emotions for children and families, can’t it? Whilst some children have resilience to cope with change, others are more vulnerable to uncertainty...

News from the Baby Room 1 – May 2026
Cooking and Counting We’ve been ever-so-curious about eggs! They have such a curious, wobbly, smooth shape don’t they. Did you know a hen lays about 300 eggs a year? Did you know the ostrich lays the biggest egg? We found some eggs in our Home Corner and Role Play....

What's in the Box? Cardboard boxes are great aren’t they. The simplest and bestest resource! Boxes are really good mathematical tools – helping children develop their spatial reasoning. Spatial reasoning is all about how things fit together. Including ourselves! It’s...

Ofsted - Outstanding!
We have achieved Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ in both our Nursery School and Children’s Centre and are now a partner in BEYTC (Bristol Early Years Teaching Consortium) and ‘Centre of Excellence for Under 3s’.
Children thrive in the setting as a result of the stimulating curriculum and the support and challenge which adults provide. They are exceptionally well prepared to move to the next stage of their education.
Leaders make sure that children learn in a highly supportive and caring environment. The nurturing relationships between adults and children and the organisation of daily routines help children to develop positive habits and attitudes to learning.
