a shorter second placement in another of our schools. One day a week, Winchester University
and ourselves will share the more theoretical training input. Each of our schools is delivering

Our Nursery School
The Wharf Nursery School
Well motivated, confident and positive
The Wharf Nursery School is a well-established state-funded nursery school which has been at the heart of the community in Godalming since it was founded in 1947. It added a Sure Start Children's Centre in 2009, providing activities and services to families with children from birth to five. Our aim is to help our children become well-motivated, confident and positive individuals. We do this by providing high-quality care and education in a safe, happy and stimulating environment. Our teaching is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. We put particular emphasis on children’s social and emotional development and on fostering their language and their physical skills and independence. These provide the foundations for all their later learning.
All classroom staff are qualified and experienced early years teachers and nursery nurses. We also have a strong reputation for our work with children with additional needs and work closely with our Children's Centre staff and with other professionals and organisations to support all our children and families.

Learn, love and flourish together

just outside Godalming in the heart of the Surrey Hills. We pride ourselves on being friendly, caring and nurturing and, being a small school, everyone is known and valued.

The staff, Governors, children and families are supportive of one another and there is a strong sense of teamwork. We have high expectations of our children in terms of behaviour, attendance and learning; whilst we are very proud of our excellent results, we never lose sight of individuals and encourage them to explore and develop their own interests. During their time with us, children are embarking upon a life-long journey of learning and discovery and it is a privilege to both support and challenge them as they take their first exciting steps along the way.
