Welcome to St Thomas of Canterbury Nursery
Opening: Monday 22 February 2027
We are delighted to be opening our new nursery provision at St Thomas of Canterbury in February 2027, welcoming children aged 3–4 years.
Our nursery will provide a nurturing, stimulating and welcoming environment where children can learn, explore, play and develop their confidence as they take their first steps into school life.
Children of all faiths are warmly welcome.
