TORWOOD HOUSE
NURSERY SCHOOL
Redland, Bristol BS6 6XE
Torwood Lodge Nursery is a caring and nurturing setting for children, from 0 to 5 years old. The nursery is set in a vibrant and welcoming building with onsite garden spaces that wrap around the nursery, located on the edge of Clifton Downs. We have a private outdoor play space as well as easy access to some of Bristol’s most beautiful and
stimulating natural environments. Our children's rooms are set across different levels of the building, enabling wide opportunity where children can play, learn and explore at different ages and stages of their early years.
NURTURING AND CARING STAFF
It is the staff that make Torwood a supreme choice of childcare and pre-school education for your child. Parents, existing staff and independent observers describe our staff as ‘experts’ that use their knowledge and understanding of how children learn to respond intuitively to promote children’s learning.
Our staff really do go that extra mile, they are the epitome of conscientious and brilliantly creative childcarers that you would want to look after your child. Committed to not only on-going professional development, they are a vibrant team and their enthusiasm and innovative approaches are evident throughout their delivery, day after day of the Early Years curriculum.
TRANSITIONS
From birth to the age of 5, are grouped together by age and developmental stage throughout their time at our Nursery. Transitions between groups through the Nursery years are handled sensitively.
We strengthen our staff team with specialists both from outside and across the education provision of our other settings and this includes a Qualified Early Years Teacher to support the older children, prior to joining primary education.
PARENTS WELCOME
Our parents are always welcome, in fact we actively encourage parents and carers to come and talk through your child’s progress. Many of our current parents see Torwood and the team as an integral part of their family support network, which is a real honour!
We have a diverse number of families who currently have children attending the nursery and therefore celebrate a variety of festivals which the children and the staff thoroughly enjoy! We embrace cultural differences and have specifically themed days too.

Parent, June 2023
"Thank you for all the work you and your staff do. I have been really impressed with the induction process and just overall the amazing work you guys do. #### has been superb, she has been professional, kind, passionate and so reassuring - a real credit to her personality and work ethic. She is a huge asset to your team ."
Parent, January 2023
"Staff promote a strong two-way flow of information with parents through daily chats, entries in the nursery's online system and during regular parents' meetings. Thoughtful resources bags are offered to help parents support their children through 'life events', such as the arrival of a new sibling. Parents say that staff are 'dedicated', 'incredibly patient' and 'friendly', and that they are very thankful for the level of care and support that their children receive at the nursery."
