Welcome toWalthamstow Nursery Schools

Our Nursery Schools offer joyful pre-school education and childcare to children aged 3 to 4 years, and to some 2 year olds. In the school holidays our Playschemes welcome older children.

We believe in free play and child-led discovery. We use the extensive skills, knowledge and experience of our highly-qualified staff to teach children beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage without them realising the detailed structure which we provide to help all of them achieve their potential. We publish this structure every term so that their grown ups can be in on the secret.

Our purpose-built nursery schools are designed for playful learning. We are fully inclusive schools, and welcome children and their families from all faiths and none, from all cultures, and with the widest range of needs.

Church Hill and Low Hall are federated schools. This means we have one Head Teacher and we collaborate, keeping our separate and unique identities while sharing our expertise. Ofsted tells us we are 'Outstanding' and 'Good'. Parents tell us we are 'a magical place' and that 'the staff are absolutely great'.

Please explore our website to find out more about what we have to offer you and your family, then come to play at our Visiting Days.

Helen Currie (Head Teacher)

We are celebrating World Book Day on Wednesday 21st March. Children (and adults!) are invited to dress up as their favourite character from a book. Foyles Educational Bookfair is visiting, with over 1000 good quality books available for you to browse and buy, with prices from 99p to £6.99. Payment for books will need to be in cash or by cheque on the day. The Bookfair will be open before and after the Nursery sessions, so please come along and support the event. The school will receive some free books, depending on how many books are sold. DAYCARE families: if you are unable to attend the Bookfair but would like your child to have the opportunity to buy a book, please pick up a letter and envelope from the Nursery staff. If you use the envelope to send in some money, Nursery staff will help your child to select an appropriate book, and return any change in the envelope.
