Nursery & Reception

Excellent is one word for it.

St Joseph's College's Nursery & Reception excels in every area, enabling children to progress ahead of their age.

Dedicated. Effective. Secure. Happy. All describe the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision at St Joseph's, where children get an excellent start to their education and development.

To borrow a few words from the most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report, the College provides:

"Even the youngest children concentrate very well on activities independently because they are encouraged to explore and find things out for themselves."(ISI Inspection Report, March 2019)

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.

In addition to our Nursery & Reception, St Joseph's also runs a term-time Friday morning Parent & Toddler group, staffed by our level 3 qualified Nursery Assistant. This weekly session is designed to help familiarise both children and parents with the Nursery and its staff prior to starting on their educational journeys.

Please note that Government childcare funding is available. Parents of pre-school nursery children can apply for this funding at the start of each term through the school. This differs from workplace vouchers which can also be accepted.
