Parents Information
We provide an attentive and caring nursery environment for Children from 2 years 9 months to 5 years and are conveniently located for parents in Catherington, Horndean, Clanfield, Cowplain and Waterlooville.
“Catherington Nursery has a dated rota which parents can sign if they would like to help at a particular session or sessions. Helping at the session enables parents to see what the day-to-day life of the nursery is like and to join in helping the children to get the best out of their activities.”
