At Long Close school, our youngest learners start at two years old.
Little Long Close learners are very important members of the school community and benefit from being immersed in our enriching environment. They learn through a wide variety of play and creative activities. They are encouraged to develop self-assurance, independence and effective social skills. We offer a seamless transition through Nursery to Reception and upwards in a stimulating environment to start the foundations of learning within The Little Long Close Early Years building.
Our excellent and enthusiastic staff are highly qualified and chosen with great care, reflecting our commitment to maximising the comfort, happiness and progress of our children.
Long Close School Nursery and Reception provide children with the very best foundation as they embark on their educational journey.
