Head of School Welcome

Probus Nursery is a wonderful place for your child to begin their journey in education. Our caring, supportive staff realise they will be partnering you on a crucial stage of your child's journey. Our EYFS lead, Mrs Jones, oversees both phases of the Early Years to ensure our values and learning is coherent and embedded from the moment your child enters our care.
We are very proud of our beautiful outdoor areas and believe the environment to be the "third teacher." Each day staff prepare the spaces for guided exploration and adventure, to keep the learning fresh and child initiated.
It is a joy to share time in this happy and vibrant place and to see our youngest pupils achieving and developing confidence in EYFS. Our experienced Nursery manager Mrs Griffen guides the provision with clarity and creativity and children benefit greatly from a team with wellbeing for the child at the centre of everything they do.
Our aim is to welcome children into the school with warmth and continuity so that there "home for learning" feels safe, happy and stimulating.

Our jumpers are available from age 3-4 at Kea School wear. The PTA offer a clothes exchange in the main school foyer in which you can pick up a jumper for free.
Your child will need practical clothes so they can play freely outdoors. Welly boats, water proof coats and hats essential for the cooler months. All labelled please!

Vision & Values

All pupils are welcome at Probus School and respect for one another is the key value which underpins everyday relationships. The interactions seek to develop personal skills so necessary in life - unity, trust, co-operation, kindness, perseverance and responsibility to self and others.
Our vision is to produce happy, well balanced individuals equipped with the academic and personal skills to cope with modern life. We seek to give pupil voice a high priority and inspire pupils with a creativity ambitious curriculum rooted in the locale.

Early Years Curriculum

We have a wonderful learning environment that is beautifully resourced. We have access to our classroom, a covered outside area, a playground and a sensory garden. We have a large field and a polytunnel for the children to access.

We feel passionate that children learn most effectively when the learning follows their natural interest. We give real-life, purposeful experiences to children to ignite a love of learning such as planting, cooking, making playdough and resources that require self-selection.
