PHILOSOPHY
a caring, cheerful
environment
Established in 1992, St Michael’s Nursery welcomes babies as young as three months, and children of up to four years old into a caring, cheerful environment run by experienced and enthusiastic staff.
We know that it is the atmosphere generated by our happy and committed staff that creates the emotional climate where your child will flourish. Our aim is to provide a stimulating and uplifting environment to promote your child’s all-round learning and development.
OUTDOOR LEARNING
Our nursery has a forest area for fun with nature, offering children, opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning.
The combination of freedom and responsibility is particularly beneficial to children developing self esteem and confidence. Children safely experience activities such as climbing on logs and trees, finding mini beasts, using tools and enjoying camp-fires. We also venture out of nursery to enhance outdoor learning such as trails along the riverside, at the beach, local woodlands .
TRIPS
We enjoy visiting much of our local beautiful environment; the beach, parks, libraries and theatres, as well as neighbouring schools, shops and farms.
We are situated very close to the stunning Taw Estuary where we are able to take part in bird watching activities accessed by the Tarka Trail.
