Meet the staff

Headteacher

Rachel Lewis

I am delighted to welcome you to Hindley Nursery School!
The information contained in this website is intended to provide you with a flavour of the provision on offer at our Nursery School.

I am very proud to be the Head Teacher at Hindley Nursery School.  We have a very dedicated and committed team who strive for the best outcomes for every child. Our children are amazing and make this school a happy place to work in.

Hindley Nursery School is a maintained nursery school, sometimes referred to as state school. We are supported through Wigan Council and our staff are highly trained and experienced. We have a fully qualified headteacher, a highly skilled Pastoral and School Lead and  a qualified teacher who all lead the outstanding levels of teaching and learning.  There is only one other maintained  nursery school in Wigan, Douglas Valley Nursery School . In April 2024 the two schools collaborated together and I am the headteacher across the collaboration, the collaboration has brought lots of benefits to both schools.

Visitors are always welcome and you do not have to make an appointment as we like you to see us just the way we are. It is only by visiting the nursery and seeing everyone working together that the real atmosphere can be experienced.

At our most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023 Ofsted inspectors found that our school continues to be outstanding.

We believe that learning for young children should be fun, with routines that develop independence and the ability to make choices and positive attitudes to school and learning.

Our aspiration for the children who attend Hindley Nursery School is that they become confident, self-motivated learners, with the necessary skills and attitudes to achieve the best possible outcomes in their learning and development.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our Nursery School!

“Children thrive at this delightful and welcoming nursery school. They are happy and safe. They are exeptionally motivated to learn, staff aim to give children the best start to their early education. They make sure that children do not miss any opportunity to learn.” -Ofsted report March 2023
