Moorlands School & Nursery

for our eldest, but when we shifted to using this earlier years nursery setting within Moorlands School, we noticed a real improvement on reading, numbers, speaking, behaviour and confidence. It is a perfect and rare blend of a well-equipped and fun nursery with the professionalism of staff and experience that provide exceptional education support. My only regret was not finding this opportunity sooner for our eldest.

and they operate a fantastic buddy system with older children which further strengthens the ties but also gives a sense of responsibility for the older ones.

seem to thrive in the warm and supportive environment they create. It is a school-based nursery so there is a focus on education resulting in children being gently prepared for the challenges of school; but there are also a whole host of extracurricular activities on offer (e.g. swimming, rugby, ballet, dance, music and forest school - many are included within the standard fees) which are fantastic and make the nursery difficult to beat.
Our two children always come home happy, fulfilled and raring to go back which, as parents, is all we feel we can ask for.

includes a variety of activities such as swimming, forest school, French and phonics. The outdoor play area is also a lovely space, well utilised so the children have plenty of outdoor time.
We have seen a huge development in our eldest since he has been going there, especially in building relationships with other children, but most impressively in his ability with numbers and letters. The children are constantly stimulated with different activities and encouraged to try new things in a fun and friendly learning environment.

to witness.
Moorlands early years team are dedicated and genuinely care about the children in their class. The children form close knit friendships due to the small classes.
We couldn’t be happier with the journey our little boy is enjoying. Moorlands is more than a nursery - it is a wonderful and fun place for children to learn and develop to bring out their best abilities.

feeling very confident that they will be well looked after and develop well in all areas. Our youngest was a bit difficult to settle down and would not eat independently but honestly, the amount of effort and patience put into him by the staff has surpassed our expectations and now he is a very happy and independent young boy.
We would not hesitate one bit to highly recommend such a beautiful professional caring and family orientated nursery/school for your child/children to start their school journey successfully.

from concentration, independence through to speech. The nurturing offered by the experienced staff combined with the many opportunities my son had in speaking to large groups of audiences and enjoying a wide range of activities encouraging imaginations, he has now progressed into a confident 6 year old in year 2, who regularly tells me how much he loves school.

Since then, we have placed our two younger children at Moorlands as soon as they turned 2, who are thriving and are equally enjoying their time there.

We are delighted to have found this wonderful school, with such a friendly atmosphere, who we believe will develop our children into well rounded individuals.

especially like the fact that there are focused literacy and numeracy sessions as well as opportunities to take part in PE, French classes, and swim sessions within the school day. (They have to be fully toilet trained to access the swimming). Focused sessions along with ample outside space/ access to sports hall etc is the main reason we changed him to Moorlands from his previous day nursery.

list of activities goes on. It is not all play time though, and from an early age the children are encouraged to develop their reading, writing and numeracy and we have been extremely pleased with the educational development of both girls.

The staff are excellent - leaving a child in nursery is so much easier when they rush over to give the teacher a hug in the morning.

We have been delighted that we found Moorlands, a beautiful school with a wonderful atmosphere and very happy children.

and dance amongst others. Our son is confident, progressing well and very, very happy at Moorlands as are our other children. A super school with a wonderful family community. Highly recommended.

it. Every day provides a range of stimulating activities including; forest school, swimming, PE, rugby tots, cooking, crafts and even learning some French.
I recommend Moorlands nursery to everyone looking for a caring, stimulating and friendly place for their child to grow.
