Cliffe House Nursery School has a long history of providing excellence in care and early learning. It was established in 1933 as Cliffe House Kindergarten and since that time has only changed owner/principal four times.

Julie Warkup has been Cliffe House Nursery School’s owner and principal since 1999 and, together with her team, continues the aim of excellence. In 2015 Cliffe House Nursery School achieved the Ofsted Outstanding award. Julie is a qualified primary school teacher, holds a BAHons degree, and was awarded the accreditation of Early Years Professional Status in January 2007.

At Cliffe House Nursery School we have a qualified and experienced staff team of Early Years Practitioners who have been with us at our nursery school many years, providing a caring, happy, stimulating environment where all children are encouraged to discover, experience, explore, learn and develop. Our staff team ensure that all the children’s individual needs, additional needs, or more special needs are met.

Cliffe House Nursery School welcomes children from the age of 9 months to school age. We are open 8.00am to 6.00pm weekdays throughout the year except bank holidays and for two weeks over the Christmas period. There are government funded places and also a voucher system.
