Little Hayes Nursery School
Speedwell Nursery School
In 2018, Little Hayes Nursery and Speedwell Nursery School federated to form the Little Hayes and Speedwell Nursery Schools Federation. Together we have a strong shared ethos and believe that we provide a learning community where children, families and staff learn with and from each other in a spirit of mutual respect and collaboration. We are all ‘learning and growing together’.
Little Hayes
Welcome to Little Hayes Nursery School. We are one of twelve local authority-maintained nursery schools in Bristol offering high-quality early years education for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds.
Little Hayes has been at the heart of the local Fishponds community since 1957. The site was originally an open green space enclosed by a hedge, hence the name, from the old English word hayes for hedge. In its long history, the nursery has been attended by several generations of many local families and some of our staff were former parents and pupils. We are always excited to welcome back families, meet new siblings and offer fantastic learning opportunities to the next generation of learners. We strive to provide a welcoming, nurturing, family centred provision and are proud of the role Little Hayes has played in the local community for over 60 years.
