LIFE IN THE NURSERY: 

THE FIRST STEP IN YOUR RYDE SCHOOL JOURNEY

We offer individual gentle care in our beautifully restored Victorian villa. Nestled in the grounds of Ryde School with its entrance on West Street, the nursery is run by a friendly and fully qualified team in a nurturing social environment.

We live within our Rainbow Rules and we begin early to learn and practise our School values of Ambition, Responsibility, Courage and Respect.

We welcome regular visitors who, along with our daily Circle Times, help support the children’s understanding of the world, fostering team-work in a friendly and happy environment. 

 Parents agree, the Nursery is a special place for your child.  Westhill has a 10/10 rating on Daynurseries.co.uk.

"After our first full year at Westhill Nursery with all the experiences we have gained we can truly say it is an amazing nursery." Westhill Nursery parent

Our Nursery children are provided with healthy mid-morning and afternoon snacks and enjoy a delicious hot lunch freshly prepared daily. We have our own dining room where our children eat together with a member of staff on hand to help with food cutting, pouring drinks and guiding children to good table manners and healthy food choices.
