Welcome to Wellington Nursery
Welcome to Wellington Nursery. We provide a caring, exciting and happy atmosphere for children from the age of 2 and ½ years old to attend and take their first steps into education.
I thought I would introduce myself and talk about our wonderful nursery. My name is Emily Sevenoaks and I am the nursery manager. I work very closely with my nursery assistant, Clare Bowcott who has been a well-loved member of the Wellington School community for quite some time. We also work very closely with our Head of EYFS, Miss Evans to help strengthen our links with Reception and help develop our understanding and planning of the early year’s environment.
In the Nursery, we take pride in carefully planning stimulating and structured activities built around the children’s interests however allowing for free flow and child-initiated play. With our experienced staff, all children are encouraged to explore, learn and discover. We implement a topic-based approach to learning but are flexible to changes where we support the development of the whole child.
Our Nursery setting offers one large classroom with an adjoining wet area for all our messy fun. We also have an adjoining sheltered outdoor area with access to a large playground, fields and a wooded forest school area.
Our staff support positive relationships with both children and parents. We are open from 8:45 – 3:15pm each day and you can choose which days and sessions best suit you and your child, with the option of half day, full day and breakfast and after-school provision. Breakfast club is open 7:45-8:30 and afterschool club runs from 3:00-5:30, 4:15 on Fridays.
Through careful observation and assessment, we can establish each child’s next steps. We use SeeSaw as a communicational guide to help support positive relationships with parents and support strong connections between each child’s home and school life.
At Wellington Nursery, every child’s happiness is of paramount importance. We want all the children in our care to feel happy, safe and for their experiences to guide and support them for their next adventures in education. Please feel free to contact the school reception or email myself directly for any more information.

Autumn Term: Black History Month
Throughout October we learnt and celebrated inspiring Black figures, exploring their achievements through exciting, hands-on experiences.
We discovered more about the incredible racing career of Lewis Hamilton and got creative designing and building our very own race cars! Using tyres, wood and a range of outdoor resources, the children worked together to create some fantastic vehicles which helped them zoom off to some fantastic places like Disneyland Paris and London.
Please Don’t Forget…
- Healthy/appropriate snacks and lunchboxes to be provided please
