Nacton and Bucklesham Under Five's

Preschool

Set in the heart of Nacton Village, Nacton & Bucklesham Under 5s is a beautiful rural early years provision. We offer early years education & play experiences that nurture the soul as children discover their "feeling of me' & make sense of the world around them. Our play environment, rich in authentic & natural resources,  empowers children to follow their curiosities, fostering resilience, self confidence & a love for learning beyond the classroom. Our team are dedicated to providing attuned care & learning opportunities respecting each child as unique. We offer a responsive curriculum that starts with the child in the context of their lives & one which embraces a child led approach. Daily rhythms offer a sense of predictability as the children free flow between our indoor & outdoor play spaces. Learning at NBU5s is a whole bodied, whole hearted journey where together we co-construct your child's developmental story. We urge you to come & visit.

Support for people with disabilities

Experience of including people with special educational needs and disabilities

At Nacton and Bucklesham Under 5's we adhere to the SEND Code of Practice 2014, this is reflected in our policies and procedures which are available to all parents on request.

We have a SENCO who is up to date with all current SEN practices.  Our setting ethos is one of inclusion, providing holistic care & education experiences where each child is seen, heard & valued. We use makaton to support communication.
