Didcot nursery celebrates “providing the very best start for young children”
Lydalls Nursery School has been celebrating 80 years of looking after and nurturing children in their care.
The birthday was marked on Wednesday, 13th November by raising a new flag designed by the children, enjoying cake and party games, and taking home a commemorative teddy bear.
Headteacher Sarah Phillips said: “For 80 years we’ve been building early years expertise and providing the very best start for young children. Lydalls Nursery School is often described as feeling like a family and we all really enjoyed celebrating this milestone together.”

Maintained Nursery Schools are special places – like other local authority schools they have a headteacher and governing board with teaching and learning delivered by a team of teachers, nursery nurses and teaching assistants. In a Maintained Nursery School the headteacher and the teaching team are all early years specialists.
Sarah added: “For 80 years our school has been delivering this special provision to children in Didcot… here’s to many more happy years!”
