  • The School Room

    The School Room and Creative Area are completely self contained to cater for children aged between approximately three years and rising fives. They are introduced gently to all the necessary skills required to assist them in acquiring the educational building blocks for their future. We introduce the children to pre-reading and writing skills, and provide them with the opportunities to obtain an understanding of numerical concepts. Acquisition of computer skills is encouraged across the age range through a variety of early educational programmes. Children are guided through play and their own discovery, in to a wider learning sphere, equipping them for transition on to more formal education. Theme work ensures that all development areas are covered continuously, as they relate to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

    Here they are introduced to all the necessary skills required to give them the educational building blocks for their future, as well as all the hands on activities such as cookery, painting School Room children will also be well prepared for their next step to school with pre-reading, writing skills and numerical concepts.

  • The Farm & Bluebell Woods

    The nursery is situated adjacent to a working farm where we are able to access a viewing gallery to watch the cows being milked.

    We can also see sheep and their lambs in fields at the rear of the Nursery, and of course the usual farm vehicles pass by in abundance each day making Chessgrove an exciting a special place to be!

    The extensive surrounding countryside lends itself beautifully to Forest School activities. Just a short walk across the field at the rear of the Nursery, and over a stream leads us to the Bluebell Woods.

  • Chessgrove Swim

    We are very lucky to have the superb facilities of Chessgrove Swim just opposite the Nursery, and have found this to be a very popular extra curricular activity for our older children.   At Chessgrove Park, we offer swimming classes to children over the age of 3 years (our School Room children).

    Each class lasts 30 minutes, in 11 weeks blocks, rotating the day after each 11 weeks. Children who wish to attend these classes will need to bring a swim bag/carrier bag, containing swimwear, towel, any training swim pants, and any other accessories you may wish to add.

    Chessgrove Swim will provide floatation devices to keep the children afloat while they gain confidence in the water. Full risk assessments are in place to ensure the children’s safety at the highest possible level.

    There are many benefits of swimming at a young age:

    - It helps to build up confidence in the water, making it more enjoyable as the child gets older.

    - As swimming is a gentle form of exercise it will help stretch and tone muscles.

    - It strengthens the heart and lungs.

    - It is a fun experience for the children to share with each other.
