Early Years
At Glemsford our children are at the heart of all we do. We believe in and respect each and every child.
Our nursery offers a unique and exceptional learning environment for children aged from 2 years following their seamless learning journey to school.
We encourage and nurture our little ones to explore, experiment and develop as a whole unique individual within all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. We believe in following the children’s interests, supporting and offering challenge to further extend learning. Our parent partnership is of high importance to us as this we believe is key to your child’s growth and future potential.
We have two nursery classes Field Mice 2-3 years, Dormice 3-4 years and Robins Reception class. Our EYFS team are dedicated, professional, positive role models offering a loving, supportive and enabling learning environment. Our latest newsletter for each class is available to read in the attachments section.
We believe that happy children learn and develop to their full potential – which is what Glemsford is all about – nurturing uniqueness, creativity and individuality. We believe in building skills for life, nurturing from the beginning to support a love of learning.
If you are interested in coming along to meet us or have any questions please do get in touch. We look forward to showing you around where we explore, learn and play – it is a great place to be!
