Welcome

The Nursery School at Ratcliffe College is based in a purpose built unit within the picturesque grounds of Ratcliffe College. The youngest children are very much part of the whole School and benefit from the outstanding facilities on the campus

About Us

The class sizes are small, enabling the experienced and caring staff to recognise each child's unique needs. The Nursery School believes in providing a broad and balanced early years curriculum that values all the children's past experiences and then builds upon them. There are five teaching members of staff and the children are divided into age appropriate teaching groups; this enables individual needs to be met and ensures progression and continuity within the early years.

Our School

The Nursery School is a stimulating child centred environment, where every child has the opportunity to flourish within a warm welcoming, caring and secure environment. Our loving and supportive ethos enables our children to flourish in all their areas of learning and develop a lifelong love of learning.

The ISI inspection report 2010 states “the quality of the provision is outstanding. Staff have excellent knowledge of the EYFS framework and work hard to provide a welcoming and stimulating environment where children's welfare is paramount. Staff are warm and enthusiastic promoting an ethos that shows how to value each child as uniquely special".
