Homely and Friendly Environment
The team at Clarence House Ely prides itself on delivering a friendly and homely environment for our babies, toddlers and preschool children – helping children to settle quickly and parents to relax.
Here at Clarence House Ely we are particularly proud of our large garden filled with educational activities as well as fun things like our climbing frame and large sand pit. We also have a vegetable patch where the children can grow their own vegetables, a mud kitchen – always a favourite with all the children and a ‘bug hotel’ where all the local insects check in. In addition, our nursery benefits from a gigantic ball pit and bouncy castle, helping children to build on and extend their physical skills.
Additional Activities
We include as standard Yoga Dance, Cook With Me, Green Fingers, Science is Fun and Ready4School.
Local Schools
Our preschool children tend to move on to nearby schools including Spring Meadow, St John’s Primary School, and Isle of Ely Primary School.
