Family Business
Lindisfarne Nursery School was established
in 1987 by Tricia Cuthbert and remains part
of the Cuthbert family today. We have a large
open villa which offers pre-schoolers a great
space for lots of fun activities, and a nursery
building where the babies and toddlers can
develop and explore at their own pace.
Our registered teachers provide a
programme of wonderful activities based on
the national curriculum, Te Whariki, which
encourages a love of learning, and you will
receive regular updates about how your child
is developing.
The pre-school villa offers the children a
large open space with family and role-play
areas, areas for construction and art, a library
full of wonderful books and puzzles, and a
"classroom" area where the pre-schoolers love
to 'play schools'.
The nursery house provides the babies and
toddlers with the environment and resources
to develop their skills in the precious first two
years.
Your child will have a portfolio which will
reflect their interests, as well as show their
learning and individuality.
Morning and afternoon tea and a cooked
lunch are provided, and we are open all
year. Please call in at your convenience.
