"Children thrive in a nurturing and creative environment where their individuality is celebrated, and their inquisitive minds are stimulated."
ISI Inspection Report, 2023
Welcome to Highfield Priory Nursery and Preschool. We welcome children from two to four years of age in our cosy converted home from home.
Our children have the freedom to experiment, discover and explore in our large outdoor area and carefully considered indoor learning environments. Who knows what trigger will ignite the spark that leads to the next architect, scientist or explorer? We have a large outdoor area that offers opportunities to be creative, physical and curious, whether this be painting in puddles, climbing on our new outdoor area or using a magnifying glass to carefully look at bugs under logs. Everything is an opportunity to learn!
In the Nursery there will be a balance of adult led and child initiated activities, some activities may even be led by request of individual children. Under the EYFS guidelines, our nursery children learn through play having first hand experiences with sensory activities. The purpose of this play and active learning is to motivate, stimulate, support and develop skills and concepts, developing language and communication which also develops concentration and positive attitudes both in and outdoors.
Our opening times are Monday-Friday, 8am – 6pm, 51 weeks of the year (closing one week over the Christmas period and bank holidays.) Once the children turn 3, they are able to attend breakfast club which is available Monday – Friday 7.15 – 8am.
As part of the school community, our Nursery is able to use all of the fabulous onsite facilities, this includes:
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our children, using routine times as creatively as possible and taking the opportunity to focus on the individual child. The children have a range of activities in Preschool. These include: role play, sand and water play, the book corner, builder’s workshop, music corner, small world play, painting as well as our large outdoor area. The children will be divided into small groups and one group will go with the teacher to the classroom for name writing and phonics work whilst the other group will enjoy another activity such as painting. These groups will rotate.
Our Preschool is open Monday-Friday, 8am – 3:15pm, during term time. During the holidays, children may be booked into the holiday club. Breakfast club is available from 7:15 – 8am to preschool children.

We were channelling our inner-Banksy in Nursery this week as we practised some spray painting!
This was a fantastic, collaborative art work that helped us develop our hand muscles and pre-writing skills. ✍️
Great fun and a cool new skill! 😎 😃Photos from Highfield Priory School and Nursery's post
