Acol Nursery supports children through every stage of their development, from infancy through to school readiness. Children are grouped according to their age and developmental stage, ensuring they receive personalised care, learning experiences and support tailored to their individual needs.
Our curriculum supports all areas of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) and encourages children’s communication, creativity, physical development, emotional wellbeing and independence. Through play, exploration and meaningful interactions, children build the skills and confidence they need for future learning.
A particular feature of Acol Nursery is our dedicated sensory room, providing a calm, stimulating environment where children can explore, develop language and communication skills, strengthen coordination and build confidence. The sensory space is especially valuable in supporting children with SEND and additional needs, ensuring every child can access learning and play in ways that work best for them.
Outdoor learning is an important part of nursery life. Children enjoy daily access to our large secure garden where they can develop physical skills, build friendships, explore nature and take part in active learning experiences that support their health, wellbeing and resilience.
Children enjoy nutritious breakfasts, freshly prepared lunches and healthy snacks each day. We work closely with parents and carers, sharing children’s achievements and development through regular communication and strong family partnerships.
