Welcome to West Wight Nursery

Established 1992, West Wight Nursery is based on the site of St. Saviour's Catholic Primary School in Totland and is a community nursery welcoming all children between the ages of 3 months to 12 years.

Staff at West Wight Nursery provide education and care within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Play underpins learning and development and staff provide a balance of child initiated and adult led play based activities to meet each child's developmental needs. "Children thrive in the nursery and are enabled to achieve at the very highest levels. Children flourish in all areas of their development and develop the skills they need for life long learning." - Ofsted 2022.

Children gain in skill and understanding through their play, especially when they are able to share their enjoyment with an adult and to talk about their discoveries. Every child's learning journey is documented in a personal file which is given to the parent/ carer when the child leaves us. This provides a lovely record of the child's time with us.

From Creche right through to Nursery Pre-School West Wight Nursery is an amazing place for little ones. Both my sons have gone/ 1 still is here. The layout, setup, staff, activities are amazing, educational and inviting. I am a very fussy 'Mum' when it comes to looking after my children, this Nursery fulfils all my expectations when delivering outstanding childcare in a safe and healthy surrounding.

Both of my daughters went through the nursery and I couldn't praise it highly enough. A great, fun place for toddlers to start school.
