Welcome To Arlesdene

Dear Parents

A very warm welcome to Arlesdene Nursery School and Pre-school.

We have wonderful purpose built learning environments with extensive outdoor areas in both our Nursery School (3 to 5 year olds) and Pre-school (2 to 3 year olds). In addition to 15 hours early education the Nursery offers places for working parents for are eligible for 30 hours free childcare.

At the heart of our work is the relationship with all our families.  We support families with parenting and offer different ways in which they can be involved in their child’s learning.

At Arlesdene we are committed to ensuring that every child can achieve through providing opportunities for them to engage in meaningful experiences that support their understanding and creativity. The wellbeing of our children is important to us. We continually strive to provide a caring and happy environment where children’s individual needs are met.

We were delighted to remain judged as Outstanding by Ofsted in May 2023.

“The school is a harmonious place to be; children are safe and play well. This is a school where everyone is valued, included and encouraged to be the best they can be.”

Our website only shows a glimpse of what Arlesdene can offer. We welcome visits so that you can meet the staff and see our amazing facilities. Please ring us to find out more or to arrange a visit.

We look forward to having the opportunity to explore, learn and flourish with all our children and families.
