All the children in our Reception intake come from a variety of nurseries and childminders in the surrounding area. We do not have a direct feeder nursery. Take a look below at just some of the nurseries our children come from. All children are welcome into our Nicol Mere Family.





We create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every child feels a sense of belonging. We believe in equal opportunities, fostering respect, ambition, and a love for learning across academics, arts, music, and sports. By setting high academic standards, we prepare our children for every step of their journey—because learning is the passport to life… enjoy!
We offer a curriculum that inspires and challenges our children to be the very best they can. It focuses on high academic standards achieved through our sequenced knowledge and skills based curriculum.
