Nursery
Welcome to Clifford Bridge Academy Nursery. Your child’s Nursery year is such an exciting and special year, filled with wonder, rapid development, acquisition of new skills and most importantly plenty of joy, as they begin to understand and explore the world around them. We are always delighted when new children join us, as it gives us the chance to get to know you and your family, as well as guiding your child as they begin their learning journey. By the end of the year, you will see just how much your child has grown—becoming more confident, capable, and ready for their Reception adventure!
