Welcome To The Newnham Nursery Website
Newnham Pre-School Nursery is a small and friendly nursery near the heart of Cambridge.
We provide nursery places for the local community of Newnham, its surrounding areas & various colleges of Cambridge University. We hold sessions in the large and adaptable community room within a secure enclosed setting in Newnham Croft Primary School.
Our mission is to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can develop a love for learning, build confidence, and lay the foundation for a bright future.
At Newnham Nursery, we focus on fostering holistic development, ensuring that every child's intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs are met.
We believe in a play-based learning approach that encourages children to explore, inquire, and express themselves through hands-on activities.
Our experienced and qualified team offer a wide range of activities in a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment, giving each child the opportunity to explore a variety of topics through supervised play.
We support a ‘key person’ structure and offer a high teacher to child ratio that enables us to provide a high quality learning environment.
We believe that parents are essential partners in a child's educational journey. We encourage open communication and collaboration to create a shared learning experience.
The minimum attendance to Newnham Nursery is two mornings per week, and we normally accept children from 2½ years old up to school age. Please do contact us if your requirement is different.
15 hours Universal funding is available to all 3-4 year olds and we accept 2 year old funding and 30 hour funding for those that are eligible.
Inside this website you will find all the information you need about our nursery, including: registration, admissions, daily routines, curriculum, funding and the ‘Early Years’.
The nursery’s T&Cs and policies are available on request upon registration along with finance and funding details.
Please feel free to contact us if you require more information.
