BlueBelles Nursery

The Early Years at Notre Dame Preparatory
(for girls and boys aged 2 - 4)

BlueBelles Nursery is part of Notre Dame School, an independent Roman Catholic day school, owned by the Company of Mary Our Lady, which welcomes families of all faiths.

Notre Dame BlueBelles Nursery follows the curriculum guidance for the Foundation Stage, which prepares the girls and boys well for their future learning and development.
