About

iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).

A warm welcome to both of our wonderful Nursery Schools . We are a unique Buckinghamshire County Council split site maintained Nursery School. Both schools serve the community of High Wycombe with Bowerdean Nursery at Wycombe Rye and Mapledean Nursery at Cressex. Our Nursery places children right at the heart of all we do.

We try to make every day a 'best day' for our children as we support their learning through play. We do not put limits on achievement but aim to provide positive experiences that will enable all children to flourish and develop in a safe and secure environment.

Our staff are all highly qualified Teachers and Early Years Educators and are skilled in making children's learning memorable and fun. We observe our children closely and track their progress carefully. We offer individual support to children with additional needs, helping all children to make exceptional progress.

We plan activities that challenge and extend children's understanding and help them to be independent learners who are willing to have a go and try out new ideas. Five consecutive Outstanding Ofsted inspections is testament to the high quality Early Years Education our children receive.
