welcome to THE HOME OF CHARLTON NURSERY
AND PRE SCHOOL
Charlton Nursery has had the same philosophy at heart since its doors first opened in 2004: children learn best through play.
We believe passionately in creating the right environment for children to thrive, which for us involves dedicated, caring staff; excellent, nourishing food with a focus on organic ingredients; homely, communication-friendly spaces; welly boots at the ready for outdoor learning and good quality sleep.
We strive to provide the very best childcare and early years education for babies and children aged from six weeks to five years old. We have two locations in the Bristol area: at Flax Bourton and on Winterstoke Road. We’re delighted to say that OFSTED agree with our approach, rating both of our nurseries Good with Outstanding Features.
Inclusivity at Charlton Nursery
We believe that all children should feel valued and respected and we are devoted to providing inclusive practice at Charlton Nursery. Jenna Jefferies, our Lead Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Coordinator, oversees both settings; supporting staff, children and parents. Jenna is currently studying for her BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies. Alongside this, Jenna has also completed a CACHE Level 3 Award for Special Educational Needs Coordinators and Attention Autism training.
Our nurseries are accessible to all, and we are committed to working with families to make reasonable adjustments tailored to their needs. We have also invested in woolly clouds from The Woolly Shepherd which hang from the ceilings of our pre-school classrooms to support the acoustics and enable learning; benefiting all children and especially those who are hearing impaired.
