Glenbrook Nursery School

Today Glenbrook Nursery and Trinity Nursery School shared a PeacePlus Aspire session together at Clandeboye Estate. Together we shared in new play experiences, bonded while jumping in muddy puddles and participated in plenty of opportunities to play, share and learn together. Our staff fully embraced the experience too (see the photo below)!
Thank you to Northern Ireland Forest School Association for facilitating this session. We will be back!

This week we have welcomed our children and parents for our 2026/2027 year to a brief meet and greet session. Please remember we are hosting an information session for parents/carers only on Monday 8th June 2026 at 630pm at Glenbrook.
We are looking forward to seeing you all there!

Here are just a few of the events taking place in your local library in June! 🙌

A series of FREE online workshops which may be of interest to some of our Glenbrook community. Follow the information on the flyer.

Thank you to all our children, families, staff, providers and wider community for another great half term. Thank you to everyone for their support and contributions to Glenbrook life. We are now closed to pupils for Bank Holiday Monday and staff development on Tuesday. We look forward to welcoming you all back on Wednesday 27th May for our final few weeks together!
Here's hoping we get the forecasted weather! 🌞 🏖️

Something to consider if you live local to Glenbrook. We'd love to see some photos too! Please share with your child's teacher via Seesaw.

Next week is Walk to School Week!

It’s the perfect chance to leave the car at home and enjoy a healthier, happier journey to school. Walking even part of the way helps children feel more alert, supports physical and mental wellbeing, and creates great opportunities to chat and connect before the school day begins.

Thank you so much to Londonderry Primary School who invited us to a plant and play session today. We had a fabulous morning exploring outside, working on our gross motor skills and challenging ourselves on the climbing equipment. The highlight was going inside the polytunnel and planting lilies for us to bring home. Thank you to the P1 teachers Mrs Hutton, Mrs Bradford and all the P1 staff along with the pupil helpers who helped to make today so special. What a lovely introduction to life at Londonderry 🌟

Today we participated in another joint PeacePlus Aspire session with Trinity Nursery School. We worked on our gross motor movements and physical health with Coach Paul from Sonal Sportz and then explored indoor and outdoor play areas together.
Thank you so much to the team at Trinity who made us so welcome and for all the hard work behind the scenes to make today a success.
A huge thanks too to the Glenbrook staff team for all their hard work! Thank you also to our parent volunteers. We really appreciate your help. The children were excellent ambassadors for Glenbrook and Trinity. Well done everyone.
