Noah's Ark Nursery
Ofsted rated - GOOD - October 2021
The Belmont CE Primary School family grew in September 2016, when we opened Noah's Ark Nursery. Our Nursery offers a wide range of learning experiences in a warm and welcoming learning environment.
We work very closely with our Reception staff; this strengthens our EYFS Team and ensures a smooth transition for the children from Nursery to Reception.
