Windrush Valley School Nursery: Where Curious Minds Begin

At Windrush Valley School Nursery, we give children more than a great start – we nurture a lifelong love of learning. In a warm, supportive environment, curiosity is celebrated, confidence grows, and every child is truly known. Our engaging Early Years curriculum inspires independence, resilience, and the social skills that set children up for future success.

Guided by the belief that “play is the highest form of research,” we blend purposeful play with structured learning. Children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, developing kindness, confidence, and the strong character that defines a Windrush Valley pupil.

We welcome children from the term after their third birthday. Through all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, learning comes alive with play-based exploration, early phonics, and number work – creating happy, confident learners eager to explore the world.
