Children are naturally curious about the world around them.

If you have recently received the fantastic news that you’ve been awarded funding to open a brand-new school-based nursery, you're probably buzzing with ideas and possibilities. The Department for Education (DfE) School-Based Nursery grant offers a wonderful opportunity to bring to life a nurturing, vibrant, and educational environment right within your school grounds.
