My child feels confident, happy, included & valued.
Parent Survey2023
It's early days but my child is growing in confidence and learning.
Parent survey2023
Our child loves going to nursery and learning.
Parent survey2023
My child's confidence is growing; they enjoy making new friends, singing and practising counting.
Parent survey2023
The staff are excellent. They have really taken the time to get to know my child and understand his behavioural needs and have built a partnership with me to help guide my child's development.
Parent survey2023
Since my daughter has joined Willow class she has thrived with her speech and her confidence has grown. She's a different child to the one that started. She always leaves class happy. The SEN team are a great support - the Inclusion Lead has always given us great direction in a honest and non-biased way.
Parent survey2023
Our child has the freedom to be himself, within the safety net of boundaries. He is learning all the time. His confidence has increased.
Parent survey2023
As part the SEN class, our child is thriving from the excellent teaching staff and facilities available to him.
Parent survey2023
Our child is growing more confident and learning new things which he loves to share with us. The nursery has been great at putting in additional support for him and encouraging his development, whilst also valuing him as he is.
Parent survey2023
As English is not our home language, our child learnt how to speak and understand English at GNS. When she started at GNS, she was quiet and reserved, but GNS has helped her become more confident. She made lovely friendships with her fellow students and also formed a strong attachment with her key person. She learnt the enjoyment of gardening and preparing food. She also enjoys counting, writing her name and singing the nursery rhymes learnt from school.
Parent survey2023
GNS provides a gentle introduction to education to make transmission to school easy. The wide variety of child-led activities gives them educational and social skills as well as skills for home too.
Parent survey2023
My child comes out of nursery every week with something new she’s learnt whether that be writing a new letter or a new song she’s learnt. She’s also thoroughly enjoyed dance which she does weekly - I think this is a great thing that GNS offers the children.
Parent survey2023
Our child has improved greatly in his communication skills, learning and behaviour.
Parent survey2023
Thanks for all the love and care you’ve given my child. She adores you and we feel very lucky to have crossed paths. She also loves all the other staff there, so a big thanks also to everyone.
February 2023
The staff have identified my child’s needs and are supporting his learning and development individually. The learning opportunities have been vast and outside of what I could provide at home (for example, watching the development of an egg into a chick).
Parent survey2023
When our child started he was very shy and did not play with other children. However, the nursery picked up on this and focused on building his social relationships.
Parent survey2023
Nursery has improved my child's social interaction, enhancing development, stimulation and keeping busy, learning lots of new things through free play to explore ideas.
Parent survey2023
My child loves the outdoor space and equipment and the staff is a key for this development.
Parent survey2023
My child's key person is wonderful and he loves the range of activities they do each day. Fantastic outside space!
Parent survey2023
Our child has had a fantastic time at nursery and has been so well supported. He is ready for school because of the excellent learning opportunities he has received. Thank you!
Parent survey2023
We love the variety of learning resources and tools (including special interventions if needed), the professional teachers, and the big outdoor space.
Parent survey2023
This nursery is everything to my child. My child's development just sky rocketed. We love the huge space there is. Thank you all for amazing work.
Parent survey2023
Teachers are amazing with my daughter and are very encouraging and supportive of her.
Parent survey2023
GNS provides a great support system.
Parent survey2023
My child is thriving at nursery. She loves to go and is always excited. Izzy and all the staff look after her so well. Her sessions with Mari are making a huge difference. My eldest went to the same nursery and I also felt she excelled. I have also felt supported by the nursery having been able to chat to staff members myself. The Reception team are friendly, kind, patient and great to deal with.

The best start in life

Serving the children in our community

We are a fully inclusive maintained nursery school and welcome all children and families, working in partnership to enable each child to grow and develop to become confident, independent and ready for the next stage in their education. 

We are proud that our teaching and learning is led by a team of dedicated, experienced and qualified staff.  70% of our staff have a relevant qualification in early years education (35% of staff are Qualified School Teachers and a further 35% are Early Years Educators with a Level 3 qualification or above).

Every child receives a bespoke education experience tailored to their needs and interests.  We start with what each child can do, knows and understands, extending their learning with motivating experiences and provocations to develop a sense of curiosity, awe and wonderment.

We are here for you, your family and your children. If you have any comments or queries please do ask us or take a look at our Teaching & Learning pages to find out more about what we do.
