iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to the Minet Infant and Nursery School's website. I hope our website provides you with all information you need about our school and you get a feeling of how wonderful our school is! We are a four-form nursery and infant school situated in the Hayes area of Hillingdon. We have over 400 children from many different backgrounds.
The children are well behaved and love to learn! They work very hard to achieve their potential and to be successful with their learning as they are inquisitive, resilient and enthusiastic learners. We are very proud of every single one of them! At Minet, we work hard to provide children with the best start to their education.
The school has an incredibly talented and dedicated group of staff who endeavour to provide all children with a safe and inclusive learning environment where they learn, develop and thrive resulting in them becoming happy, confident and life-long learners.
Our staff also work hard to meet the individual needs of each child ensuring they experience success and reach their full potential. We not only value academic success but also place a strong emphasis on the social and personal development of each child so that they grow into conscientious and well-rounded individuals.
