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.

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.

This is great news. We hope it is distributed fairly so that all maintained nursery schools benefit and can afford the legal structure we must have in place to have a head teacher, qualified teacher and SENDCO. Currently the top up we get does not cover this cost. https://t.co/BYnhcBHrmR

We are all fighting to save our schools, we are all very different and each one of us is unique. @BEYAlliance have been an inspiration to us and to lose them or any MNS would be devastating. Join our fight at @earlyed_uk, @APPG_Nursery please help @vickyford #StrongerTogether https://t.co/RFNohOly4E
