Empowering young minds through learning and growth
Welcome to Victoria Nursery, a purpose-built nursery school located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Established in 1969, our nursery has a long tradition of providing high-quality education and care to children from the local area and beyond.
Our Philosophy
At Victoria Nursery, we believe that the purpose of nursery education is to provide effective and active learning experiences that equip children with the skills, knowledge, and understanding for lifelong learning. We aim to promote the development of happy, secure, and confident children who are motivated to be independent in their learning. We believe that strong partnerships with parents are essential in supporting children in realising their full potential.
Our Approach
We take a child-centred approach to learning, focusing on meeting the individual needs of each child to promote learning and independence. Our highly skilled and experienced staff develop respectful relationships with the children and plan activities accordingly to maximize their involvement in play. Our carefully prepared learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, encourages children to explore and experiment with a wide variety of play materials.
What We Offer
At Victoria Nursery, we offer a range of activities and experiences that enable children to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our curriculum is designed to promote children's understanding of themselves and others, make new friends, and develop positive attitudes towards learning. We also offer opportunities for children to develop their creativity, language, and communication skills through stories, rhymes, and songs.
Eco-Friendly Practices
We are committed to environmentally-friendly practices and have been awarded the Eco-School's Silver Award in recognition of our efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We believe that it is essential to teach children the importance of protecting the environment and promoting sustainable practices.
Recognition and Awards
We are proud to have received the Derrytransa Pastoral Care Award in recognition of our school community's exceptional co-operative effort in supporting the pastoral care of pupils and their families. Our staff are dedicated to providing high-quality education and care, and we are committed to continually improving our services to meet the needs of our children and their families.

We also offer induction sessions for new parents and children, which provide an opportunity for you to meet our staff and learn more about our nursery.
Conclusion
At Victoria Nursery, we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports the development of happy, secure, and confident children. We believe that strong partnerships with parents are essential in supporting children in realising their full potential.
