Finborough nursery transformed as Forfar invests in year-round Early Years provision

Finborough School in Stowmarket has announced a significant change to its nursery provision, which will see the school extend its opening from a traditional term-time only, to a year-round provision from summer 2025.  Additionally, for the first time in the school’s history, the nursery will be open to babies from the age of 6 months through to children aged 4, rising 5.  This enhanced provision offers families greater flexibility and peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in a safe, nurturing environment while they continue to grow and learn.

As a leading independent co-educational, day and boarding school, Finborough School has long been renowned for providing high-quality education and care to children aged 2 to 18.  Its commitment to offering a well-rounded and enriching experience is further enhanced by the newly extended nursery hours, ensuring its youngest learners can enjoy a full range of activities, care, and educational opportunities every week throughout most of the year. 

The nursery at Finborough School is designed to support early childhood development through a combination of play, exploration, and structured learning, all within a secure and welcoming setting. Its experienced staff work closely with parents to tailor each child’s experience, ensuring their individual needs are met and children are thoroughly prepared for the next stage of their education.

Head of Early Years at Forfar Education, Lisa McDonald, commented that, “We are thrilled to be able to offer extended opening hours and a provision for babies to our parent community at Finborough, many of whom rely on our services while they work.  We know that children benefit from regular and consistent developmental support at what is a vital stage in their learning journey, and so by offering our service to parents for most of the year ensures uninterrupted access to high quality learning.”
