At Early Years @ Highfield-Whitehouse we are aware that a child's first experience of nursery is a huge step in their lives. Therefore, we do everything we can to make sure that it is a happy experience for them that will give them a positive attitude towards school for the future.

Visits and Inductions

Before each child starts nursery we will invite all new parents to visit our setting and find out more about what we offer to meet the needs of their child through play and learning experiences and opportunities. Parents/carers can meet the team working with your child and ask any questions.
