Tarnerland Nursery School provides care and education for children from 3 months to 5 years. The school has been on this site for almost 100 years, opening as an 'open air nursery' in 1933. We are extremely lucky to still have our large garden, 'the meadow', shaded by many mature trees and full of play and learning opportunities for the children.
Around 25 years ago the buildings were completely refurbished and a new extension built, includng a purpose built space for 12 babies, our 'Lookers and Explorers'. Their two adjoining rooms include a quieter sleeping area, dedicated dining space, changing station and outdoor decking.
The 2-3 year olds, our 'Players and Pretenders' use the meadow room, a very light and spacious building constructed relatively recently. This provides 20 children with an idyllic environment with decking on both sides overlooking the meadow and with a view of the sea on the horizon.
The oldest and largest group of children, our 'Carers and Creators' use the majority of the ground floor of the main building, with access to a playground from most rooms. These children enjoy free-flow between all areas, meeting with their keyperson in their own group space at regular intervals throughout the day.
