At John Ray Infant School House Nursery we want every child in our care to have the best chance to reach their full potential, feeling safe and supported as they grow and develop.

Our curriculum is designed to meet the specific needs of the children and the community that they are part of. It helps the children make links with their world, and what they are familiar with, but also offers them the chances to be open and enthused by new experiences, encouraging them to aim high and reach their goals. 

 In our nursery, fostering an open and strong relationship with parents is crucial for creating a supportive and nurturing environment for their children. This partnership ensures we can effectively communicate and collaborate to meet each child's unique needs promoting their overall development.
