We are a happy, friendly and stimulating Nursery, which takes full advantage of being a part of Liden Academy. We welcome children from two years old up to four years. At Liden Academy Nursery we nurture and care for your child to ensure that their transition from the familiarity of home into our environment allows both you and your child to feel confident in our care.
We recognise and celebrate that all children are individuals and we encourage them to become confident, independent and to develop their sense of self.
