Based at the Havannah First School, we are a Montessori-inspired nursery for 3-5 year olds where the children are encouraged to learn through play, both indoors and outdoors with the wonderful expansion to the outdoor area within the attached forest school.

Our sessions are fun, informative and nurturing and will enable your child to be ready for the next stage of their learning journey - school. This is echoed in the Government's Early Years Framework, which all staff follow.
