Who We Are

Keswick House Nursery School is a privately owned and family-run Nursery offering children a high quality education in an environment where every individual is valued for who they are and for their contributions to our strong school community.

Our Early Years curriculum nurtures children’s confidence in exploring the world around them and in their creativity. They are encouraged to adopt important values such as friendship, courage, kindness, co-operation and perseverance.

We believe every child is unique thus their individual learning pathway will be tailored to suit their own interests and lines of inquiry, ensuring a love of learning is fostered.

We aim to create a strong learning environment that will not only enhance children’s aspirations to perform to the best of their ability but will also develop the children’s personal, social and emotional skills.

Welcome Message

“During my 27 years leading Keswick House Nursery School, I have been truly fortunate to watch so many children flourish in the Nursery environment. In such a short space of time they have the capacity to overcome their initial hesitancy and develop into confident and adventurous little learners. The children leave us brimming with confidence and ready to face new challenges. Their potential and enthusiasm never cease to amaze me. We always know when our job is finally done...

Testimonials

"Words can't express how wonderful we feel that Keswick House is for our son and I don't believe there is another Nursery that could even come close. My child is encouraged, praised, educated, understood and included ..., he is very happy so we are very happy!"

“Thank you for an amazing two years, I couldn’t ask for a better Nursery for my son. I am just amazed at how far my son has come since he joined as a shy three year old. It’s all down to the Nursery and the staff.”

"It is a wonderful, inspiring and protecting learning environment and we are incredibly pleased with all that you do."

“The structure and atmosphere of the school allows great preparation for primary school and there is a wide variety of creative activities that help inspire the children.”
