I am very pleased that you are considering our day nursery for your child. It is such an important decision so the one thing I would advise, as the headteacher (and as a mum) is to ensure you get as much information as possible about our ethos and vision to help guide you through this process. Every school and nursery is unique, just like every individual child and we can help you understand what makes St James' Nursery so special.

Nicki or Katie in our School Office will be able to book you in for a  personal tour so you can explore the nursery in greater depth and meet the staff who will be caring for your child. I am more than happy to follow up with a personal telephone call to answer further questions you may have and discuss your child's start in nursery.

We are here to make the start of your child's nursery and school journey as smooth as possible.

What matters is that you gain all the information you need and feel comfortable about the way forward. 

I look forward to meeting you and your child very soon.

Jo Hudson

Headteacher, Nursery manager
