The Day Nursery at Portsmouth High promotes family living and learning

If a loving, family atmosphere is how you wish your child to experience their Early Years Learning, then Portsmouth High Nursery, this respected and nurturing Nursery, with excellent ISI and Ofsted inspections, is a must! You can be sure your daughter’s early learning experience here will give her the very best start on her learning journey.

Enthusiastically guiding rising three year olds to explore through play, the Nursery provides an exceptionally exciting and stimulating learning environment. We provide sensorial activities which are colourful, lively and energetic by design. The planned play activities encourage and nurture all children to relate to each other with confidence and consideration. The Early Years Foundation curriculum is delivered by happy, caring staff, who are passionate about Early Years development and never underestimate the achievements of each child.

Portsmouth HIgh Nursery is situated in the heart of Southsea village, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, providing a stimulating and aesthetic outside play area and extensive gardens. Girls are nurtured and gently encouraged to share their experiences through speaking and listening skills, musical and creative activities. A healthy, balanced, cooked lunch is enjoyed by all, at family tables.

 Flexible full and part time nursery hours are available as well as out of hours and holiday care. We also offer home visits to ease your daughter’s transition into Nursery.

We look forward to welcoming you and your daughter to our Nursery.
