Thank you for taking the time to visit our Nursery School page - we hope that

Although life still feels very different regarding Covid19, we are working around the current challenges to warmly welcome you and your child to the Nursery and to Stoke Hill Federation.
At this time we are unable to facilitate tours, so please take a look at the information on this website which we hope gives you a feel for our wonderful setting. If you have any questions please contact the main school office who will be able to help and advise, or pass on your query to Clare Farion, our Nursery leader.
Our Federation includes the Nursery the Infant School and the Junior School. We work collaboratively to ensure that all of our children are happy, develop a love of learning, make friends and have smooth transition from Nursery right through to Year 6.
Our dedicated and experienced team provide a warm, safe and welcoming environment for all children and their families. We are a fully inclusive Nursery and nurture each child at every stage of their learning journey.
