The Orchard Nursery

The Orchard Nursery is established within The Coombes CE Primary School, surrounded by a beautiful natural environment with fields and woodland on our doorstep. We take full advantage of our enriching setting with a light and airy open-plan classroom with topic-related resources and activities that enhance learning while through play. Stepping outdoors into our spacious garden, that is abundant with nature, there is opportunity to get a 'hands-on' forest school adventure.

Our aim at the Orchard Nursery is to enable children to develop a lifelong love of learning. We provide play opportunities and enriching experiences which encourage children to explore and develop their natural curiosity, to participate, to have a positive approach to challenge and to develop concentration skills.

Each day offers the children an invitation to let their own ideas blossom, to develop problem-solving skills, to build resilience and be confident. Providing opportunities to play cooperatively, build relationships with both peers and adults, nurture individuality and support independence for the first big step into their school journey.

Children can join The Orchard Nursery in the term after they turn three. We offer up to 30 hours a week.
