As head teacher, I warmly welcome you to the newly updated website for Central and Ashgate Nursery Schools Federation. We are two well-established, teacher-led nursery schools supporting children and families in Derby. Based close to the city centre, we offer extended hours, year-round, to support family's needs. Our team of Early Years experts nurture all children (aged 0 5 Years) and provide them with the best possible start to their education. We personalise our curriculum to ensure it reflects the children's interest and next steps and to make sure that all children make excellent progress. We welcome parents to visit by contacting the office to arrange a convenient time to have a tour of our school. Our website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regular updated information for families and the community. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find any information you are looking for. Please contact our schools directly with any further queries you may have.
