Our Nursery was founded in 1972 through the efforts and generosity of local parents. It is now funded by East Sussex County Council and is an integral part of Wadhurst C.E. Primary School.
'The overall effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage is outstanding.'
The Nursery is inspected by Ofsted along with the main school and recently achieved an "Outstanding" result (June 2010). To view our Ofsted report, please click here.
Our provision offers quality free nursery education with highly qualified and experienced teachers and practitioners. We work according to the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, which enables children to learn through carefully structured play activities in order to achieve their potential. We place great importance on the value of learning through both indoor and outdoor play and operate a ‘free-flow’ system between the indoor facilities and our extensive outdoor areas. Our aim is to create a fun and stimulating environment in which the children feel happy and secure. 'All children are given a real sense of determining their own way forward, which guarantees their full involvement in all activities.' (Ofsted 2010)
