Glebe House Nursery (6 Months - 4 Years)

Hello
Glebe House Nursery started life as Hall Farm Day Nursery in 1992, run by Susie Pull, NNEB, RSHDip who trained at Norland Nursery Training College. Under Susie's management the Nursery moved to the present purpose built premises within the grounds of Glebe House School in September 1999, where it is now fully integrated to become Glebe House School and Nursery. All staff have relevant childcare qualifications and attend ongoing training.

With its own dedicated building and play area, the Nursery provides a safe and happy environment for our youngest children. From the start, learning is fun and through constructive play the children are encouraged to develop creativity, self-expression and independence, but most of all to enjoy themselves. Carefully planned days and weekly themes ensure variety for our regular attenders and continuity for those who come more occasionally. Great emphasis is placed on pastoral care and the staff/pupil ratio is generous, ensuring that we can recognise budding talents and potential problems from an early age. Parents are encouraged to become involved and through "All About Me" books, parents and staff can share a child's experience.

 

The Nursery is very much part of the Glebe House community, benefiting from all the school's facilities and enjoying plenty of contact with the rest of the school. To ease them into the Pre-Prep, the rising 4's spend one afternoon a week of the Summer Term with the Reception teacher, making the transition as seamless as possible.

Play Time

 

In the secure and caring environment of their Glebe House familyť, the children thrive as they explore and discover new talents and take their first steps on their educational discovery trail.

  • The Nursery was inspected by OFSTED in November 2005 and they found that:
  • 'Children are cared for in a safe and welcoming environment'
  • 'Children can access a good range of appropriate activities, which are planned to provide a balanced programme'
  • 'The quality of teaching and learning is good'
  • The partnership with parents and carers is good
