Moorlands School & Nursery

Excellent preschool with lots of activities, great staff and a nice, light airy room with spacious outdoor play area. Our little boy has come on enormously since starting at Moorlands especially speaking and interacting with other children.

We transferred our eldest son from a private nursery to Moorlands when he was 3 years old. Looking back, It was the best decision that we have made and we would have placed him at Moorlands earlier if we knew about this gem. Within two weeks of being there, we were amazed by his progress in development 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.

Excellent opportunities provided for my little boy who's just turned 3. He started there when he was 2&1/2.
He especially enjoys the forest school and the music sessions. He's always very excited to go to his 'big school' (which he thinks it is as he gets to wear a uniform like his big brother)
I 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.

Moorlands School & Nursery is a fabulous setting with passionate and dedicated staff. The curriculum is varied and engaging and with plenty of optional activities such as swimming, bushcraft, French and dancing - you would be really stuck to find a better start.

My youngest daughter started in Moorlands as soon as she turned 2 and has now progressed into the Reception class. She is extremely happy at Moorlands, as is my eldest daughter. Both girls have thrived with all of the opportunities on offer - dance, drama, swimming, sports, music and bushcraft, the 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.

Three of our children have progressed through Moorlands, all starting in the nursery. Our son is currently in Foxes. The setting, staff and care provided are fabulous. The range of subjects and extra-curricular activities on offer in the nursery are second-to-none and include swimming, rugby tots, cricket, 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.

My son started in the Squirrels class of nursery when he had just turned 3. He had never been looked after by anyone other than me so I was worried about how he would settle in. I needn't have worried. The staff at Moorlands were great and he has enjoyed every day he has been there for over a year. The activities available are excellent and there are lots of opportunities to do fun and exciting activities. The educational activities have set him up really well for going to school in September.

Moorlands provides an excellent nursery setting. The facilities and learning opportunities are brilliant. Each day is so varied with dance, swimming, forest school all on offer.
It is an excellent foundation for children going on to reception.

The team and facilities at Moorlands are excellent and provide a wonderful environment for children to flourish.
My son attended Squirrels from 2 years of age and settled very quickly due to the warmth of the caring team and the range of activities to keep him stimulated.
He is now in Foxes and loves 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.

I have two children attending Moorlands school. My son is in year 1; my daughter is in the nursery and will start Reception next year. Both are thriving, confident and happy there. The variety of educational activities is fantastic and the staff are excellent. My husband and I are very happy that we found this gem of a school for our children.

My daughter has been at Moorlands for nearly 3 years (Early Years). We have been very happy with the offerings of the school, both curricular and also extra-curricular. Their facilities are also unparalleled. The staff are excellent and very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Our daughter was only 2 years old when she started but has settled in with ease as she has been looked after very well from the day she started. Would recommend the school with no hesitation.

My eldest son started in the nursery at Moorlands 5 years ago and has progressed into the main school with ease and confidence.
My 2 younger sons have followed in recent years and we are thrilled with the experience that all the boys have had/are having (my youngest son is still currently in nursery). The staff are wonderful - so caring, friendly and patient and the boys have happily run into nursery every day.
The range of activities on offer is fantastic and it is a wonderful platform for the children before they start school. The transition into reception is perfect, we could not be happier.

My three boys have been attending Moorlands for almost two years and my husband and I can not fault the school. We feel really blessed that we took the step to visit Moorlands two years ago, and we never looked back. We wished we discovered Moorlands earlier for our older boys, as we know that they too would have benefited highly if they too attended. Moorlands delivers outstanding educational development for the nursery children which sets them ready and fully confident for 'big school'. The number of activities that they do is truly amazing, ranging from swimming to music to languages and PE and Forest school/ bushcraft. The school gives all the children the opportunity to develop and find their true passion through learning. The staff at Moorlands are an absolute asset to the school. I have been through quite a few schools with my older boys and I can confidently say that this school is by far the best school I have come across which delivers all round excellence.

I cannot recommend the nursery at Moorlands School highly enough. Not to be confused with the separate, independent nursery which is situated in the school's grounds, the school's early learning facilities are second to none and provide the children with all the amazing opportunities which are open to those who attend the school from the age of 2. The staff are wonderful and I feel totally confident leaving my child in their hands. He is thriving at Moorlands and loves every second of it.

My daughter has been attending Moorlands for almost 2 years and my wife and I literally couldn't be more positive about the place. Outstanding educational development support for young children and the number of activities that they do is fantastic, ranging from swimming to music to languages and PE. Truly fantastic and the staff are an absolute asset to the school.

My grandson is now in his third year of nursery and we are delighted with the progress he continues to make both in and outside of the classroom.
The staff are fully understanding of the demands of these early learners and cope brilliantly.
Both our daughters went through the Moorlands School & Nursery 25 years ago and we had no reservations in having our grandson follow their footsteps.

Amazing early years department.
Could not imagine it being any better.
Staff are extremely caring and attentive.
Really happy with my child's progress! would not send her anywhere else.
Can't really fault it.
