Acorn

For many years our school has had a very good relationship with the staff and children of Acorn Playgroup.

In October 2007 Acorn Playgroup moved into their new home within Neston Primary School.

We are delighted to have the children and staff working, playing and learning alongside us.

 Acorn Playgroup provides a fully inclusive and welcoming environment. Staff know each child well, respect their uniqueness and individuality, and as a result, children are making good progress in most aspects of their learning and development" Ofsted, March 2011
