Abbey Multi Academy Trust is excited to share a proposal to open nurseries at two of our Primary schools, helping to meet the growing demand for nursery spaces in our local area. While nearby nurseries provide excellent services, we understand that they’re often fully booked, leaving families facing long waiting lists. Our new nurseries would offer another convenient, high-quality option right within the community, supporting more families to access early years education close to home.
