On behalf of the children, staff and Governors I would like to welcome you to our website. I hope you find the information that you need and this gives you a flavour of our Nursery and the magical time that the children have when they are with us.
We are the only Local Authority Maintained Nursery School in Bury and we are extremely proud to say at our last Ofsted inspection in March 2025, we have taken effective actions to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection which was judged OUTSTANDING.
At Hoyle we believe that children learn more during their early years than any other time and it is our privilege to encourage the development of the whole child. We do this by providing exciting opportunities and a journey of awe, wonder and curiosity to help them develop into confident individuals with a love for learning. We hope that you enjoy looking at our website.
I am very proud to be the Head Teacher of Hoyle and would love the opportunity to show you around and tell you more. Please call or email to arrange a visit. Some comments taken from our recent Ofsted report in March 2025
