Welcome to St Philip’s Marsh Nursery School
We are a lively, flourishing Local Authority Nursery School in Bristol. Our School community includes children from 2 to 5 years old, their parents and carers. It is staffed by a Headteacher, Deputy Head, Nursery Teachers, Nursery Nurses, Early Years Practitioners and support staff, all of whom have extensive experience of working with young children. Our staff team is built around the child to ensure that each child and parent/carer is well supported by a key person. St Philip’s Marsh is an inclusive school which welcomes all children from all communities.
Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas to all our families! 🎄 We are closed from 22nd December to 2nd January. We return to school on 5th January.
