Nursery Admissions

A Personal Welcome to Our Nursery

As Headteacher of St Stephen’s CE Primary School, I know that choosing the right nursery for your child is an incredibly important decision. I would therefore like to personally invite you to come and discover what makes our Nursery in Bradford such a special place to begin your child’s education.

We offer a warm, caring and exciting Nursery environment where children are known as individuals, make friends, grow in confidence and develop a genuine love of learning. Our experienced Early Years team works hard to ensure that every child feels happy, safe and valued from the moment they join us.

If you are considering a Nursery place in Bradford, I would be delighted for you to visit us and see our Nursery for yourself.

Please contact the school office to arrange a personal tour. We can show you around, introduce you to our Early Years team and answer any questions you may have about Nursery places, admissions, sessions or starting Nursery at St Stephen’s.

We would love the opportunity to welcome you and your child to St Stephen’s and show you how we help our youngest children Nurture, Grow and Flourish.

Headteacher
