Play. Learn. Belong.

Our Vision
At New Lodge Nursery School, we believe every child deserves a joyful start to their learning journey. Through purposeful play, meaningful learning, and a strong sense of belonging, we nurture emotionally confident, curious, and independent lifelong learners in a safe, caring and inclusive environment where every child is inspired to reach their full potential.

Our motto "Play. Learn. Belong." beautifully captures the heart of New Lodge Nursery School’s values and approach to early childhood education:

Play

Our children learn best through play. It’s how they explore the world, express themselves, and develop key skills; social, emotional, physical, and cognitive. At New Lodge Nursery School, play is purposeful, joyful, and central to every child’s day.

Learn

Learning happens naturally when our children feel safe, curious, and engaged. Through carefully planned experiences and nurturing relationships, children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Belong

Belonging means feeling accepted, valued, and connected. At New Lodge Nursery School, every child is part of a warm and inclusive community where they are known, respected, and supported to thrive.
