At Weyford Nursery we believe every child is unique, curious, and full of potential. Our nurturing environment is designed to inspire creativity, encourage exploration, and build the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

You will find a warm, safe, and stimulating space where children feel valued, supported, and happy. Our experienced and caring team works closely with families to ensure each child’s individual needs are met, helping them grow in confidence and independence.

We follow Foundation to Phonics which is the introduction to the Little Wandle Phonics programme which is followed throughout the school. We also follow Maths Mastery to enable children to have a play based approach to learning essential skills of maths and problem solving.

What We Offer

• A safe & caring environment – fully equipped, secure facilities with age-appropriate resources.
• Play-based learning – activities that spark imagination, problem-solving, and social skills.
• Outdoor adventures and forest school – a spacious garden and field for fresh air, physical play, and nature exploration.
• Strong parent partnerships – open communication and regular updates on your child’s progress using Tapestry.
