Chestnut Nursery

At Chestnut Nursery School, we promote our children developing lifelong skills and a love of learning. We recognise that what a child learns at a young age is embedded in their development and that during our early years we learn all the fundamental skills needed to reach our full lifelong potential.

Alongside the EYFS, we follow our core curriculum: LITTLE EXPLORERS - Experiencing the natural world through outdoor hands-on activities MINI ARTISTS - Exploring objects and materials through play LITTLE BOOK LOVERS - sharing the love for stories through our imagination LITTLE COMMUNICATORS - encouraging our children to be expressive and confident!

At our nursery we recognise and promote the importance of books. An environment where books are celebrated, valued and loved is a place where children will model and develop a love for books, reading and learning. The early introduction of you reading with your child every day can make a positive difference to their language and future reading skills. At the nursery we focus on one book per week and our planning is centralised around this. We also have a home library to allow children to share stories with you at home and extend their learning.

The children’s wellbeing is central to all we do at Chestnut Nursery. We believe that our children learn, develop and thrive in an environment where they are nurtured, happy and safe. We foster this environment with a team of staff who are passionate and committed to encouraging children to reach their full potential. We believe in embedding the skills and early learning which will provide them for lifelong learning. At Chestnut Nursery, it is a happy and positive place to be for both children and staff alike.
