Woolverstone Hall Nursery
Woolverstone Hall Nursery provides an incredible educational experience and is situated in a beautiful 87-acre rural Suffolk location. Our unique countryside location is away from busy towns yet is only 5 miles from Ipswich town centre and only 10 minutes from the A14.
Our stimulating and welcoming Woolverstone Hall Nursery setting is friendly, and nurturing and makes children feel happy, safe, and keen to learn. Our nursery and all-weather outdoor learning environment with gardens are highly resourced to provide opportunities for every child to grow and develop. The incredible location of our nursery means that we incorporate both Forest and Beach School into our weekly nursery curriculum. Our age-appropriate outdoor spaces are a fundamental part of our nursery offer. Pupils develop physical, imaginative, and social skills in the natural setting and learn from the world around them.
We provide term time childcare for children aged from 3 years. You can have confidence in the high level of educational quality we provide within the Ipswich High School setting.

Preparing For School
We are proud to be part of the Ipswich High School community. Pupils at Woolverstone Hall Nursery have access to the 87-acre school campus and use the Swimming Pool, Sports Hall and AstroTurf pitches for relevant lessons. Nursery pupils are part of the whole school community. Older pupils within the Prep School and Senior School spend time with our nursery pupils to play and mentor them as they enter our school community. Nursery pupils attend Prep School assemblies, Sports Day, Harvest festivals and Christmas services at the local church. They also participate in the annual Prep School Nativity.
At the end of your child’s time at our nursery, we will guide you through the process of joining the Reception class at the Prep School – making it simple and stress-free.
