Early Years, Ballykeel Nursery Unit

Ballyhenry Nursery School is situated in Glengormley, between Ballyhenry Primary School and Glengormley High School. The nursery was opened in 1975 with an enrolment of 75 children 15 of whom attended on a full-time basis and the remaining 60 children attended the part-time classes in the morning and the afternoon.

 

In Ballyhenry Nursery School they provide a broad and well-balanced curriculum, taking into consideration the developmental stage of each individual child. We aim to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere where the children will enjoy new experiences and build on previous experiences, with the support and help of experienced staff, which will enable them to continue their education with a positive attitude to learning.

 

In Ballyhenry Nursery School they recognise that parents are the first educators of their children and therefore we value their support throughout the year, but most especially in making the transition from home to school a successful and happy experience. The staff in the nursery work very closely as a team and value the important role of parents as partners in their children’s education.
