Little Doves Nursery and Pre-School
We are delighted to have opened a Nursery and Pre-school here at St Chad's- Little Doves. This is brand new and opened in September 2025.
From January 2026, we will have 26 places in pre-school and up to 15 places in Nursery.
Funded and non-funded places are available.
Little Doves is an Early Years Unit with children from aged 2-4 years old. We are a term-time only provision that is integrated within St Chad’s CE Primary School. Our nursery provides high quality education and care in a fun and
engaging environment where play is at the heart of what we do. The experienced and skilled practitioners in our Nursery support children in their development in all areas of learning as well as encouraging life skills. We understand
that leaving your child in the care of someone else is a big deal to families and so we are a nurturing, caring environment, where if your child needs a hug, they will receive one!
. Both 2-3 year olds and 3-4 year olds will be within the same large room, but split into different areas for the different age groups. We offer full and part-time provision for children from the age of two
Uniform
We would like our Little Doves children to wear a white polo t-shirt with grey bottoms (leggings, joggers, shorts, skirt or pinafore) and a grey jumper. Children can wear a dark pair of trainers or shoes.
The jumper and polo do not have to be school branded, this is your choice.
