Coming this September 2025 to Shotley Bridge Nursery School
Book your visit and explore our peaceful spaces.
Places may be eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of The Ripples this September – a dedicated, smaller and more intimate space for our youngest children. This new under-twos provision has been designed to support children’s essential transition into nursery life in a calm, personalised way.
We know that for many little ones, nursery is their first experience away from their primary caregivers. The Ripples offers a gradual, nurturing introduction to help them settle confidently and happily.
Our Approach
Calm, Connected and Child-Centred
Our graduate-led Ripples room accommodates up to nine children, ensuring they receive quality, attentive care.
Every detail of The Ripples is designed to spark curiosity, engage the senses, and foster essential connections. Sensory-rich play and heuristic play resources encourage exploration, problem-solving and early development.
- Treasure Baskets
- Loose Parts
- Natural Open-Ended Resources
