Mission Statement

The staff of Christ the King Nursery Unit believe that the first years at school are the most important years of a child’s school life, in fostering positive attitudes and dispositions for learning.

We are committed to providing a secure and stimulating learning environment where each child is given an equal opportunity to flourish and develop his/ her full potential in a happy and caring atmosphere.

We consider parents as equal partners in the learning process of their child, and to this end we seek to ensure that there is harmony in our understanding and practice.

Our aims:
In Christ the King Nursery, we aim to provide a broad range of learning experiences in a stimulating, challenging environment, which will:

  • Enhance your child’s personal, social and emotional development.
  • Help children to develop the skills, knowledge, attitudes and values needed for learning.
  • Encourage a sense of wonder and curiosity.
  • Promote children’s physical development and sense of well- being.
  • Offer opportunities to develop and flourish.
