Welcome to Caverstede Nursery School

On behalf of the children, staff and Governors I would like to welcome you to our website. We do hope that you find all the information you need.

We are the only Local Authority Maintained Nursery School in Peterborough, as such we have a Head teacher and teachers who lead each of our classes. We take children from 2 to 4 years of age.  

Set within our Nursery and Woodland Gardens, the Nursery School consists of three classrooms which are designed to offer an environment where children are safe, inspired and happy. We are dedicated to working alongside parents to provide for the care and development of the children in our school.
