Welcome
Welcome to Bluebells Nursery!
We are a vibrant, friendly, fully inclusive school-maintained nursery.
We offer an imaginative, stimulating multi-sensory, and language rich environment, with carefully planned provision to meet the children’s individual needs and interests.
Linked to the Statutory Framework, we have developed an exciting Nursery Curriculum which is based on six termly topics and planned around books, targeting knowledge, skills and vocabulary. This supports children in becoming "School Ready" and builds progressively into the curriculum for Reception.
