St Anne’s Nursery

St Anne’s College Nursery is a full-time day nursery, located in a purpose-built detached building within the College grounds.

Following a detailed external review of the nursery’s operations and future sustainability, consideration of the options available, and extensive discussion at the College’s most recent Governing Body meeting, the Trustees have taken the difficult decision that the College can no longer sustainably operate St Anne’s College Nursery. The nursery will close on 18 December 2026.

SEND and Inclusion

At St Anne’s College Nursery, we are committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive. We recognise that children learn and develop in different ways and work closely with families to ensure that all children receive the support they need to reach their full potential.

We follow the principles of the SEND Code of Practice and work in partnership with parents, carers and external professionals where appropriate to support children’s learning, development and wellbeing.

How We Support Children

We support children through:

  • Early identification of additional needs.
  • Individualised planning and targeted support.
  • Close partnership working with parents and carers.
  • Regular monitoring of children’s progress and development.
  • Collaboration with health professionals, educational psychologists, speech and language therapists and other specialist services where appropriate.
  • Adaptation of activities and environments to ensure all children can participate fully in nursery life.
