Highgate Primary School has relaunched its Nursery School

A child thinks about what happens next (Image: Highgate Primary School) Starting school can be a big transition, but it is made so much easier when the new setting feels home-like and welcoming, which is something we’ve been working particularly hard on at Highgate Primary.

Children get physical in the nursery garden (Image: Highgate Primary School) Our on-site midwifery, baby-weighing and toddler playgroups means that, for many of our children, school is a place they have known and loved since they were tiny. For them, starting in nursery at three-years-old is a natural step.

And so it proved as children skipped into our freshly-decorated and beautifully set up nursery classrooms and outdoor spaces. Almost immediately they were painting in the art area, giggling in the home corner and generally having fun and making friends.

Hand painting is creative and messy (Image: Highgate Primary School) They have entered into imaginary small-world dinosaur swamps, found ladybirds and worms, played in the water trays and dug in the sandpit. Add in lots of stories and songs and PE in the playground and it’s been a very busy week!

There is so much to look forward to.

A lot happens in the nursery year!

Adventures can be had out of doors (Image: Highgate Primary School) To find out more about our Ofsted Outstanding nursery school and wraparound care, go to our website and book on to a school tour or here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/highgate-primary-school-nursery-tour-tickets-952586540987
