"The Little Griffin Nursery is such a nurturing and supportive environment....my child has flourished." 

The Little Griffin Nursery is a school-led Nursery - this means that it is term-time only provision, as it is part of The Griffin Primary School.

Mr Pouton, our excellent, qualified teacher leading Nursery, is supported by a fantastic team of Early Years Educators. We have a building for up to twenty 2 year olds, and another building for up to thirty two 3 and 4 year old children. Admissions are for the term after children have their 2nd or 3rd birthdays.

We adhere to the government adult:child ratios for 2 and 3 / 4 year old and offer 15 and 30 hour government-funded places for all of our age groups.

The purpose-built Nursery accomodation is within the school grounds, enabling the team to use any of the school's facilities to support the learning and development of the children.

Our Early Years Lead, Mrs Taylor, is also our Assistant Headteacher and Reception Teacher. She liaises with, and works alongside, Mr Pouton to ensure that our provision is of the highest quality and that we capitalise on opportunities to share experiences and resources for the benefit of our children.

From 3 years old, children in our N2 provision are welcome to enjoy a cooked school meal. This is parent-funded and children eat in the school hall. There are different prices depending on whether children bring their own lunch or have a home-cooked school meal. 

In our E2 provision, we ask parents to provide a packed lunch for the entire year. This way, we know that they are being offered food that they like and will eat. Children eat in their building.

At The Griffin Primary School we believe in offering children the best start in their education - please click here for information about the government's Best Start in Life Campaign, which aims to increase awareness of the importance of early years in a child’s development and the role of early years' education.

Admissions are controlled by the school - please visit the admissions page for further information.
