We are delighted that you are considering sending your child to join our new nursery and look forward to welcoming them into our wider school family. We hope that their time with us will be a happy and exciting journey for them and look forward to working in partnership with you as we support your child in their academic, social and emotional development, helping them become the best they can be.
At St Cuthbert’s Nursery we will provide an encouraging and nurturing environment where your child can explore, develop and grow while making friends and having fun.
