Welcome to Early Years

In many ways, our early years are some of the most important in our lives. They help shape who we are, how we see the world, and the values we carry forward. That is why, in Early Years at Bridgewater School, we provide a nurturing environment that celebrates individuality, inspires curiosity, and lays the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

Because every child deserves to feel valued, encouraged and inspired from the very start.

Life in Early Years at Bridgewater School

We found in Bridgewater a school that would work in partnership with us and would teach those learning, emotional and social skills in the early years to serve them through the rest of their lives.
