We are very proud of our nursery school, which has been here since 1942 and in our current building for 20 years. At Hungerford Nursery School, our children learn through play, sharing stimulating, first-hand experiences in a caring and happy environment.
Our outdoor spaces are a particular feature of the education provision here, because we feel that it is crucial for children to have lots of high-quality learning experiences outdoors.
As a staff body, we aim to work in partnership with you, our local community and other professionals to support your child's learning and development and to prepare them for their next steps in their learning journey. We would love to show you around and hope that you will come and visit us soon!
