Welcome to Cumnor Pre-School Nursery

We are a Community Nursery established in the 1960s. Our aim is to provide a high standard of nursery education at a reasonable cost.

The Nursery is located in the grounds of Cumnor Primary School in Oxford Road, Cumnor. We are a separate organisation from the School but we are very closely linked, working with the school as a PFSU (Partnership Foundation Stage Unit). We provide an excellent induction programme to make the transition to school as smooth as possible for those children who go on to Cumnor School after Cumnor Pre-School Nursery.

There is no formal catchment area so we have children from all the surrounding villages and many of our children do go on to attend the local school in their own village.

We take children from the age of two and have a variety of different sessions catering for children up to the age of five.

All the staff have high levels of qualifications (Level 3 or above) in Nursery Education.

The Nursery is a voluntary organisation managed entirely by parents. The parents elect a Committee which employs the staff and carries out the administration and financial planning of the Nursery. Nursery fees cover staff salaries and day to day expenses whilst the acquisition of learning materials and equipment is met by fundraising. Cumnor Pre-School is a registered Charity.

Afternoon children are talking about a new letter each week. Thank you for bringing some things beginning with 'I'. You all did very well this week, we have some lateral thinkers out there, image andinflatable put the rest of us lesser mortals to shame! Icecreams, ice, iguanas, ink and Iggle Piggle were more usual examples! Nadine brought a map of Italy, of course! We have been exploring insects in ice!

Tomorrow the letter is: N n.

Have fun looking for one or two things to bring. You might have to look in the dictionary for some ideas!
