What we get up to....
Your child is our priority. At St James' Nursery we have a wide and varied approach to ensuring your child's sessions are filled with fun, exploration and learning. We promote a philosophy by which children lead the learning.
Forest Fun!
Being set in such a wonderful, leafy, rural location, we have our outdoor learning spaces at the heart of all we do. Be it in the field or playground or adventures through the forest we make full use of the woods, garden area, messy play area and mud kitchen as well as sand and water play. Forest School trained staff ensure the children are making the most of the stimulating environment around them.
Indoor Excitement!
Our classroom environment is designed around meeting the needs, interests and stages of development of each child. We mirror our outdoor spaces inside to create a calm and natural environment where the children are are purposeful, confident and independent. Our staff cherish the impact they have on each and every child, interacting and teaching them as they play.
