Welcome to Cadmore End Nursery
At Cadmore End Nursery, every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish.
Our Nursery is part of our small, friendly school and provides a warm, nurturing environment in which children can feel safe, happy and confident. Through purposeful play, carefully planned learning experiences and strong relationships with adults, we help children develop the communication, independence and social skills they need for the next stage of their education.
Children benefit from our beautiful rural setting, spacious learning environment and weekly Forest School sessions. Being part of the wider school community also helps children become familiar with school life and supports a smooth transition into Reception.
