At the Valley, we provide nursery provision for children from the term following their 2nd birthday. Our desire to ensure that every child achieves their full potential is at the forefront of every interaction that we have with our children. Our nursery staff are trained as early years specialists with experience and we are keen to fully support you and your child.

We believe in providing a safe, stimulating, and happy environment where every child can flourish, learn through play, and develop a love for learning. Our curriculum is outlined in the EYFS Policy (see Key Documents).

Our dedicated and nurturing team ensures that all activities are tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of the children in our care, helping them to make excellent progress and achieve their full potential. We work closely with parents and carers, seeing you as your child’s first and most important educator, to ensure a smooth transition into school life and a fantastic start to their educational journey.

Please let us know if you have any worries or concerns, we value close relationships with our parents and encourage all parents to join in their child’s nursery experience.
