Welcome toWalthamstow Nursery Schools
Our teacher-led schools offer joyful pre-school education and childcare to children aged 3 and 4 (15 hours, 30 hours and 8am to 6pm daycare), and to some 2 year olds. In non-COVID times we hold our Visiting Day stay and play sessions most weeks in term time, and in the school holidays our Playschemes welcome older children too.
We believe in free play and child-led discovery, and our purpose-built nursery schools are designed for playful learning. Our highly-qualified staff teach children beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS) curriculum. We are inspected by Ofsted and funded by the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
We are a fully inclusive organisation where everyone is valued. We work in partnership with children and their families from all faiths and none, from all cultures, and with the widest range of needs.
Church Hill and Low Hall together form the FANS federation:
We have one Executive Head Teacher and one Governing Body, and we collaborate to share our expertise.
Ofsted tells us we are 'Outstanding' and 'Good'. Parents tell us we are 'a magical place' and that 'the staff are absolutely great'.
Please explore our website to find out more about what we have to offer you and your family, then come to play at our Visiting Days.
Helen Currie (Executive Head Teacher)

I pray each day that every human being, indeed every sentient being, should be happy. So, if you come across individuals facing problems, help them. Share their problems and try to bring them peace of mind. Wherever you live, try to create a happy community.

Do you know any 4-year-olds? Do you think they should be formally tested in English and maths when they first start school? Watch some 4 year olds in action and sign our petition: https://t.co/EWrjx2pqnt https://t.co/k1adPKxVRl

Maintained Nursery Schools urgently need the 6 year long funding consultation to come to an end with a full funding solution to save them now for future generations. There is no better way to support children at this crucial point.#SaveOurNurseries #FundEarlyYears @TulipSiddiq https://t.co/oavGPXn2NF

A Low Hall dad: I cannot recommend it enough . Our boy has been attending for about 6 months and even throughout the pandemic we have been overwhelmed by the kindness of the teachers, the opportunities to learn and the friends he has made there.

Don't tell me I'm behind. Don't tell me I'll be held back for ever. Don't tell me I need longer at school. Don't tell me I'm lost. Tell me I can do it. Tell me you'll help me. Tell me you believe in me. Tell me we'll do it together. Yours sincerely, The children.
