New View Nursery

Dear Parents and Families,

Unfortunately, due to essential building works at North Heath Hall, we have had to delay the start of our new term.

We will now reopen on Monday 7th September 2026.

We appreciate this may be inconvenient and apologise for the change to our plans. However, the works involve drilling and other unavoidable noise, and we feel it is important that the children return to a safe, calm and settled environment.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 7th September!

Kind regards,

Sharon & the New View Nursery Team

🌘✨ ECLIPSE WATCHING THIS EVENING! ✨🌘

There’s something rather exciting happening in the sky this evening — a solar eclipse! 🌞🌑

If your little ones are interested in watching, it’s a wonderful opportunity to talk about space, the Sun and Moon, and what happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. 🚀🌙

But please remember — looking directly at the Sun can seriously damage children’s eyes. 👀☀️

A lovely little reminder that the world around us is full of fascinating things to discover! 🌍✨

Stay safe and enjoy the sky! 💛

Another school year comes to an end! 🌟

What a journey it’s been—filled with learning, laughter, challenges, growth, and so many unforgettable memories. I’m so proud of everything we’ve achieved this year.

A huge thank you to all the team, families, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Wishing all our students a well-deserved summer break. Stay safe, have fun, and make lots of wonderful memories.

Our children enjoyed a fabulous Water Party to celebrate our School Leavers of 2026. Our garden provided the perfect environment for this exciting outdoor experience, where the children eagerly filled their water guns, soaked their sponges, and took great delight in spraying the adults. So much fun! 💦🤩💦😅💦😊💦😎

The children thoroughly enjoyed a wonderfully creative afternoon celebrating International Mud Week in our mud kitchen.

Working in friendship groups, they set off on an exciting adventure to collect natural resources from our garden, using recipe cards to guide their search. The children enthusiastically gathered pine cones, feathers, apples, daisies, lavender, mint leaves and plums before returning to create their imaginative recipes.

Red Heat Alert:
At this time, we intend to remain open and will continue to take all necessary precautions to keep children safe and comfortable throughout the day. We are following guidance from West Sussex County Council and relevant health agencies, and have measures in place to minimise the impact of the hot weather.

We would also like to make families aware that, while we currently plan to remain open, any decisions made by local schools to close due to the extreme weather may have an impact on staff availability, particularly where staff need to make alternative childcare arrangements. Should this affect our ability to operate safely, we will communicate with families as soon as possible.
