The Nursery School opened in 1943. There is an air-raid shelter on the premises and this was converted to a soft playroom for the children in April 1999. There are three classrooms, each equiped with carefully selected resources and materials. There are a different range of activities and learning objectives in each area.

The range of activities and experiences we offer are concerned with the young child’s emotional, social. physical, aesthetic and intellectual development. We take into account the fact that everyone develops in different ways and at different rates. Development is a continual process. We aim to encourage the individual child to develop his/her abilities to their fullest potential, in an enjoyable way.

Outside we are fortunate in having a large grassed area with climing equipment and structures to encourage imaginative play. There is a hard area for ball skills and wheeled toys. We regard outdoor play as an integral part of our curriculum.

There are many opportunities to play, explore and talk which are the key processes for learning in the early years.

We are one of three LEA Nursery Schools in Widnes. When the children leave this Nursery School they are admitted to various infant/primary schools. Our Nursery Schools is staffed by fully trained teachers and nursery nurses, who work closely together as a team.
