Coleridge Nursery
Our Nursery is filled with laughter, curiosity and discovery. Children learn through play, building friendships, exploring the outdoors and growing in confidence as they get ready for their next steps in school. It’s a happy, caring place where every child is known and valued.
Our Nursery is a warm, nurturing space for children aged three and four. We offer both part-time and full-time places, giving families the flexibility to choose what works best for them.
The Nursery sits within its own self-contained area of the school, designed to be calm, safe and full of opportunities for play and exploration. Children can start from the September after their third birthday.
At Coleridge, we’re proud of our passionate Early Years team. Each practitioner is chosen for their experience, warmth and genuine love of working with young children. Our staff take part in regular training to keep developing their knowledge and to make sure every child gets the best possible start to school life.
