St James's Nursery Unit

 

Our Nursery Unit is an integrated nursery and we currently have 52 full time places. In St James’s Nursery Unit we aim to provide a happy, welcoming, stimulating and fun environment, where each child is valued and respected as an individual, encouraged to grow in confidence and self esteem and to develop to his/her full potential.

Our Nursery Unit is a spacious and attractive environment located in a separate building within the school grounds. Our Nursery Unit is teacher led and staffed by a dedicated and highly motivated nursery team. We provide a range of opportunities to facilitate transition to our primary school.

During your child’s nursery year they will be provided with a range of structured and stimulating activities and experiences to develop his/her knowledge and skills through the six areas of the nursery curriculum. These six areas are as follows:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Language Development
  • Physical Development
  • Early Mathematical Development
  • The Arts
  • The World Around Us

Our Nursery is always oversubscribed such is the faith that our local community place in our ability to provide the best education and care for their children.
