Moorlands Centre Nursery School
About Moorlands Centre Nursery School
Moorlands Centre Nursery School is one of just two state-funded nursery schools in Milton Keynes, placing it in a very small and specialised local landscape. As a mixed-gender nursery for children aged two to four, it serves a specific niche within the local authority’s early years provision. The other nursery in the same category is not named in the available data, but the fact that there are only two such schools in the entire authority means Moorlands occupies a distinct position for families seeking a dedicated nursery setting rather than a reception class attached to a primary school. Headteacher W Brooks leads a small school of just 34 pupils, which is typical for a standalone nursery. The school does not have a religious character, and its facilities include a Forest School, art studios, a sensory room, and a library, alongside a dining hall and chapel. These resources are notable for a nursery of this size and suggest a broad approach to early learning.
