Bugle School

Welcome to Bugle Nursery

Welcome to Bugle Nursery, Bugle, Cornwall

Located in the heart of Bugle village, Bugle Nursery serves the village and its surrounding communities which include Rosevear, Bowling Green, Bilberry, Bodwen, Lockengate and Carbis. 

We provide expert school-based childcare in a caring and engaging environment. Specifically designed for children aged 2 to 4 years, our nursery helps bridge the gap between pre-school and Reception Class, providing your child with the best possible start to their learning journey.

Why choose our school-based Pre-School?

We take pride in offering a comprehensive and ambitious curriculum that supports your child to reach their full potential and flourish as a confident learner. Our nursery class focuses on:

  • High-quality learning through play – a stimulating environment with meaningful activities that support development, language, and curiosity
  • Warm, nurturing relationships – caring staff who build strong bonds with children and make them feel safe, secure, and valued
  • Good communication and trust – clear, regular updates and a sense that staff listen to and work in partnership with families
  • Big School Ready: we ensure your child feels confident and "big school ready" from day one
Our new-build dedicated EYFS building has its own mud kitchen, outside water and sand areas, and the nursery children enjoy regular forest school sessions.  We plant vegetables and do regular gardening, along with eating the produce and we have just signed up for the plot to plate project, getting experience for EYFS and KS1 of planting and growing.  In addition, Bugle School & Nursery is Makaton and communication focused and is a 'Talk Boost' setting, a Speech and Language programme.
