As the Headteacher of Norcot Early Years Centre, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you. We are committed to delivering high-quality early education that supports the unique needs of each child. Our curriculum is rich and varied, designed to ignite curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. We place a strong emphasis on play-based learning, allowing children to explore and discover in a way that is both enjoyable and meaningful. Our dedicated staff and Governors work tirelessly to offer every child outstanding learning opportunities tailored to their individual needs.
Despite being a large Centre, we pride ourselves on maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere, placing not just the child but the entire family at the heart of everything we do. Our Centre is housed across three buildings, each featuring exciting and imaginative garden areas. Our Nursery School caters to children aged 2-5 years during term time, while Waterside Day Care serves children from 3 months to 5 years all year-round.
Supporting others is a crucial aspect of our commitment to education, ensuring future educators are well-prepared to meet the diverse needs of children. This not only highlights the strengths of our Centre but also fosters a collaborative spirit within the local educational community. We deliver training sessions to other schools and share our expertise in early years especially in the area of special needs education. Additionally, our specially resourced provision has produced a highly praised training video, known for its practical insights and effectiveness in conveying best practices.
We are incredibly proud of our school and the positive impact it has on the wider educational landscape. We hope our website gives you a glimpse of all that we can offer your child, but visiting in person is the best way to truly appreciate the unique atmosphere of our Centre. Together, we can ensure that your child's first steps in education are both happy and successful. Please call us to book a visit.
