Our Philosophy
At Wallace Road Nursery School, we believe that every child deserves to be happy, confident, valued, engaged, and curious. We strive to create a nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Our five aims are at the heart of everything we do, and we achieve this through building strong relationships with every child, valuing their ideas, and working collaboratively with them. Our environment is designed to be accessible and open, with a focus on high-quality, open-ended resources that enable children to explore and learn at their own pace.
