Moorlands School & Nursery

The earlier years setting at the school offers a rare offering that I have come to value above other nurseries. They provide exceptional care and setting for my child but what is the step up is the educational activities. We have used in the recent past a highly rated standard format nursery setting 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.

After starting our children at Moorlands, we have been exceptionally happy with the level of care and attention of children have received. The children are very happy and thriving in the school and look forward to going in each day.

Moorlands Nursery is truly excellent. The children have such a wide variety of activities and the staff show genuine care and concern for every child. Our daughter thrived in the environment and has consequently had a seamless transition into Reception. The nursery is well integrated with the school 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.

Our two children always come home happy, fulfilled and raring to go back which, as parents, is all we feel we can ask for.

The pastoral care is outstanding and would definitely recommend a taster session. My two little girls had a great time in the nursery setting and are now thriving in school life.

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.

Moorlands is an outstanding nursery, they have fabulous facilities and great activities to stimulate children's development. My daughter loves the school and she has started the journey to reading thanks to the school programme.

I would highly recommend Moorlands Nursery, our daughter has been showing a great deal of development both mentally and psychologically, staff are nice and caring and they give reasonable time and attention to each child addressing their needs and potential issues, I have just booked a place for my 1-year-old son there.

The nursery has really supported my 3-year-old as he has started in his first nursery class. He really enjoys his time at the nursery and is making lovely relationships with staff and other children.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is an excellent foundation for children going on to reception.

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.
