We work holistically with children and families, community groups and are fortunate to work alongside health colleagues who are based on site.

We believe that all children have the right to the very best possible start in life and work cooperatively with families from across 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 their exploration of the world around them and promote a love of story, rhyme and song. Outdoor learning is highly valued, which gives children excellent opportunities to learn and explore both the natural and man-made world with the support of staff.

• A shared moral purpose – we value honesty, integrity, trust and respect
• Community involvement – we value, and include, all members of the community
• Partnership working – we value positive, professional attitudes, co-operation and communication

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.
