About us
Our ethos
Extension of home
Forest School
At Pinecones Nursery School, each child is given the opportunity to explore their environment inside and out throughout the year, whilst being supported by skilled staff to extend their play. Every child is unique and we believe it is essential to get into the child's world in order to get to know them and successfully support them in their development. If we notice something your child is finding challenging, we will focus on supporting them in order to give them the best chance at succeeding.
