Headteacher Welcome
A warm welcome to our outstanding nursery school and family centre. My name is Suzannah Gleaves, and I have had the privilege of being part of the Charnwood family for over 18 years.
Charnwood is a fully inclusive setting where each child is celebrated, valued and supported to reach their full potential. Our staff are highly skilled educators who are knowledgeable about how children learn and have a passionate commitment to the nursery and its values. Our ethos ensures that we place children and their families at the centre of all we do. We will celebrate with you the amazing things your child can do and achieve, and we will strive to work with you to support your child’s continued development so that they can achieve your hopes and dreams for them.
We have a commitment to our local community and offer inclusive stay and play sessions throughout the Heatons. The Charnwood Trust is a registered charity with a Christian commitment, and we passionately fundraise to offer the best possible provision for our children and families.
Charnwood Nursery has been rated outstanding consistently by Ofsted for over 20 years. We are extremely proud to have upheld this outstanding rating for so long, with our latest inspection taking place in July 2022.
We would be delighted to welcome you, so please contact info@charnwoodnursery.org.uk if you would like to come and meet us, and see for yourself why Charnwood is such a special place to be.

About us
"You're altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me"
Charnwood prides itself on being far more than a Nursery. We have a dedicated team of staff who go above and beyond every day to support our children. Alongside this, our Family Worker is on hand to offer guidance and practical help to parents, carers, and whole families through whatever challenges they may face. We truly wrap our arms around the entire family.
As well as being an Outstanding, inclusive Nursery and Family Centre, we are also a registered charity. This means we regularly fundraise to support essential resources, equipment, and core running costs that directly benefit our children and community.
