Lindisfarne Nursery School was established<br />

in 1987 by Tricia Cuthbert and remains part<br />

of the Cuthbert family today. We have a large<br />

open villa which offers pre-schoolers a great<br />

space for lots of fun activities, and a nursery<br />

building where the babies and toddlers can<br />

develop and explore at their own pace.<br />

Our registered teachers provide a<br />

programme of wonderful activities based on<br />

the national curriculum, Te Whariki, which<br />

encourages a love of learning, and you will<br />

receive regular updates about how your child<br />

is developing.<br />

The pre-school villa offers the children a<br />

large open space with family and role-play<br />

areas, areas for construction and art, a library<br />

full of wonderful books and puzzles, and a<br />

“classroom” area where the pre-schoolers love<br />

to ‘play schools’.<br />

The nursery house provides the babies and<br />

toddlers with the environment and resources<br />

to develop their skills in the precious first two<br />

years.<br />

Your child will have a portfolio which will<br />

reflect their interests, as well as show their<br />

learning and individuality.<br />
