We work holistically with children, families, and community groups. We believe all children have the right to the best possible start in life, and we work cooperatively with families from the community.
The nursery sessions are developed around a daily routine, which provides opportunities for the children to work as part of a key group, form new friendships and explore the exciting environment Ilminster Avenue Nursery School continually strives to develop, including more than half an acre of outside play space.
We encourage children to be independent, support them in exploring the world around them, and promote a love of story, rhyme, and song. Outdoor learning is highly valued, and it gives children excellent opportunities to learn and explore both the natural and man-made worlds with the support of staff.
Our Values
Here at Ilminster Avenue Nursery School, we believe that every child deserves the best start in life.
Play is central to this belief. Play is every child’s right. It is how they learn, how they express themselves and how they explore new experiences, finding out about the world around them.
Engaging in play enables children to be curious, develop independence, try things out, become resilient, feel proud and become confident in who they are.
Our dedicated team of experienced Early Years experts will work with you to create a secure, safe and happy childhood, building foundations for lifelong learning. We want to nurture children’s inquisitive nature and capacity for play so that they become passionate about their world and learning.
Play is learning. Learning is play!
