Welcome

Welcome to Tintagel Nursery, Tintagel, Cornwall

Tintagel Nursery (Sapling Class) serves the village of Tintagel and its surrounding communities of Bossiney, Halgabron, Penpethy, Trebarwith, Tregatta, Trethevey, Treknow, Treven, Trevillett, and Trewarmett.  We are delighted to welcome you to our nursery, part of the vibrant and nurturing tribe at Tintagel Primary School. We provide expert school-based childcare for 2 to 4 year olds and provide a warm and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to be curious, courageous and kind.

Our nursery has its own dedicated, purpose-built building, specially designed for younger children. It’s a safe and stimulating space led by experienced, caring and well-qualified staff who support every child’s development.Being part of the wider school community means we also benefit from access to the beautiful school grounds, library and even enjoy lunchtime in the main school dining hall. These shared experiences help to build confidence, familiarity and ease the transition into primary school life.

We also take part in whole-school events, including special moments like our own Christmas performance, a magical opportunity for our youngest learners to shine.

At Tintagel Nursery, we celebrate the unique ideas, interests and cultural backgrounds of all our children. We encourage exploration, creativity and communication, helping each child build a strong sense of self and a love of learning.
