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)

Does anyone have access to a van and strong arms who could help us carry a lot of fabric, lace and card that we can't use to the Hornbeam Learning Lodge in Pimp Hall Nature reserve, Chingford? They will use it for crafting activities.

Once more we are having to fight to keep nursery schools open. Please go to our website to read our Headteacher's letter, download the 'postcard' and write/draw how Church Hill helped/helps your family and child at our website; come into school to sign the petition and hand in the 'card'; Stella Creasy can use all these to demonstrate the support the school has: https://www.churchhillchildren.org/news/?pid=30&nid=4&storyId=70

Have you seen the animal run in the garden at Church Hill? Soon it's going to be the outdoor space for new Well-being Assistants. Our WBAs at Low Hall, Bubble and Squeak, are already doing great work.

The engineer has fixed the power so tomorrow we'll be open as usual, with lights on and heating keeping those of us who can't run around the garden all day warm.

Due to a power cut, no heating and no lighting we have had to close Church Hill Nursery School for the afternoon. The National Grid engineers are on their way, so we plan to be open as normal tomorrow/Tuesday.
