Community Building: Feedback from parents is overwhelmingly positive. They describe the nursery as a 'fantastic' and 'special' place.

Teaching Personal Safety: Children know why the knives they are using to spread the tomato puree on their pizzas are safe.
Happiness and Settling: Children who are new to the setting are treated with great care, and bespoke settling-in arrangements ensure that both children and their parents receive the sensitive support they need to make their introduction to nursery as smooth as possible.

If a child turns three during the academic year they enrol in the school, they may begin our three-year programme at age two (September-August).
We are not registered to accept children younger than two years old in order to guarantee that the kids are in the right school age group and are developmentally ready to get the most from our programme.
The kids attend the first year five mornings a week from 9.15 to 12.15 during the school year.
We provide an extended programme till 2:30 pm four afternoons a week in the second year of the programme.
We build the kids' independence and self-assurance during this year to get them ready for the next step.
To keep your youngster interested and motivated, all the formal skills needed are taught in an engaging manner.
Our excellent, compact Reception class is a bonus for parents who want their kid to stay for a third year.
Your child will receive a high level of attention in our Reception class to help them develop their academic skills and get ready for the school they will be entering.
The head teacher maintains close ties with the feeder schools both domestically and abroad.
When your child enrols in LJS, the application process begins, and she supports parents throughout the entire procedure.
