Our Nursery

Welcome to Lightwater Village School Nursery

We are thrilled to welcome you to our Nursery here at Lightwater Village school, which opened in September 2024. This addition is part of the GLF Schools Trust’s wider strategy to expand nursery provision across our primary schools, offering local families funded-only, school-led early years education. It also aligns with the recent government announcement to extend the early years funded entitlement to all families with two-year-olds.

At Lightwater Village School, we believe in nurturing the potential of every child from the very start. From the moment your child joins us, our dedicated Nursery team will invest all their time and energy into helping them settle in, develop their interests, make new friends, and discover exciting things each day. Above all, we want every child to leave with a smile, feeling happy and confident in their early learning journey.

The foundations we build in our Nursery are crucial in developing a love of learning and ensuring children are ready to start Reception. We provide a safe, secure, and welcoming environment, where children have access to a vibrant and stimulating indoor and outdoor area, allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. (Visit the Discover the Nursery Experience Tab for more information) Through play-based learning, we encourage children to develop their skills, independence, and creativity.

Our Nursery operates during term time, with start and finish times designed to align with the school day. This schedule supports families with siblings in both the Nursery and the main school, making it easier for parents to manage drop-offs and pick-ups.

For more information about funding options and session details, please refer to our Fees, Funding, and Sessions page.

We encourage all new parents to come and visit our lovely Nursery, meet our dedicated staff team, and see for themselves the warm and welcoming environment we offer. Please visit our Visiting Our Nursery and Admissions pages for more information.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Lightwater Village School Nursery soon!
