At Greave we believe that quality early learning experiences are essential in providing the foundation for future success.

In our Foundation Stage setting we create an enriched environment where children feel secure and happy, with access to motivating and challenging learning experiences. The children in our Foundation Stage are valued as individuals and we aim to follow their interests and needs to provide personalised learning opportunities that promote excellent levels of progress and development. We strongly value parental contributions to children’s learning, and enjoy the opportunity to work with parents and carers to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our Nursery provides quality indoor and outdoor provision that well supports the development of your child and we aim to offer the highest quality education and care to as many families as possible.

Our Nursery is managed by a Nursery teacher who is supported by a large team of experienced Early Years practitioners.

Nursery is a special place where staff are dedicated to providing the best for all children.

We value highly the partnership between home and school and encourage all parents to take an active part in the education of their children.
