Our Vision is:

"We aim to make the years the children spend at Rockwood challenging, fulfilling and happy so that, by the time they move onto the next stage, they will be competent, confident learners who take pleasure and pride in their achievements."

We provide:

• A safe and secure environment where your children may learn and play;
• A fully trained, up-to-date, friendly staff (including qualified teachers) to care for your children;
• A unique, sensory-rich, Victorian building set in extensive grounds;
• Access to government-funded education of 15 and 30 hours per week for qualifying 2 - 4 year olds;
• The school provides extended hours provision so that children can attend from 07:30am to 4.00pm weekdays, term time only.
• Ofsted registered - read our latest (July 2025) report;
• Supported by Lancashire County Council;
• Valued by our community - we have seen many generations of families in our 75+ years history.

There has been a great deal of development in the school in recent years, including a new playground, improved garden area and forest school. Staff work extremely hard and there is a strong sense of supportive teamwork.

"Children are happy and settled at this vibrant nursery school. Staff care deeply for children and get to know them well...The school has high expectations for children’s achievement." (Ofsted 2025)
