Welcome to Haven Nursery School "Magic Happens Here" I believe I am very lucky to be the Headteacher of this wonderful Nursery School. We are a fully inclusive, welcoming, nurturing nursery that provides excellent care for all our children.
Our Nursery School and Day-care Provision, have both been rated to be Outstanding by Ofsted, and we are very proud of the care and learning opportunities we provide to our children.
We are committed to providing a supportive and encouraging environment, where opportunities are offered to challenge and inspire children through learning that is irresistible, exciting, accessible, meaningful and fun. A day in the life of a Haven child is bursting with a wide range of exciting learning opportunities.
We strive at all times to provide the highest level of care through all aspects of our provision.
