About this day nursery

Carnarvon Pre-School provides a nurturing and engaging environment for young children, operating strictly during term-time in alignment with Nottinghamshire County Council's school calendar. The pre-school encourages a strong partnership with parents, utilising platforms like Tapestry Online Learning Journal to keep families updated on their child's progress and daily activities.

They are dedicated to fostering enjoyment and enthusiasm in learning, ensuring children feel secure and confident within the setting. The facility offers both indoor and outdoor spaces designed to support children's development and exploration.

Committed to accessibility, Carnarvon Pre-School accepts various government funding options to support families with childcare costs, and also provides the flexibility of paying for sessions or a combination of funded hours and paid sessions. Although current staff team photos are pending, the pre-school prides itself on the positive feedback from parents, highlighting excellent communication and the profound personal development their children experience.

What it's like

Children enter the pre-school eagerly, settle quickly and show a strong sense of belonging. Staff plan active and enjoyable activities that help children develop physical skills, such as dancing to music and joining in with the actions of familiar rhymes and songs. Staff continually help children to build on previous learning and develop new skills.
