Nursery Practitioner Apprenticeship

Noddy's Nursery School (Beaumont Road) provides early years care and education for babies and children, in a purpose-built, state of the art facility. Located in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church, the setting offers a light, spacious, home from home environment thanks to the extensive use of glass and painted wood throughout the building.

The nursery school is separated into designated baby rooms and main school classrooms. The three baby rooms have changing facilities and a sleeping area for the youngest children in the nursery's care, as well as a shared milk kitchen. The three main school classrooms each have an en-suite bathroom and changing facilities, where potty training is supported.

The nursery encourages children to foster an enthusiasm for learning by providing a supportive atmosphere in conjunction with a varied and stimulating timetable. Small group sizes allow staff to deliver focused care and attention so that each child can reach their full potential.
