Nursery Manager
Catherine Higgs

Hello, my name is Catherine Higgs and I am the Manager here at Hermitage Nursery School in Whitwick.

Every day at Hermitage, we encourage children to be inquisitive and imaginative in our inspiring learning environment. In doing so, they soon develop a real love of learning and a curious mind. We are passionate about outdoor learning and take great pride in our Forest School sessions. We’re also really proud of our close collaborative work with parents, carers, health visitors, area SENCo and speech and language therapists, making sure children’s individual needs are met and that their transition to school is a smooth and happy one.

Our experienced educators come with a wealth of early years learning insight. We know that every child is different with their own story to tell, so we make sure that your child learns in a way and at a pace that’s right for them.

We’d love you to see our exceptional learning environment for yourself, so please do come and say hello - we look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Making a difference

Our Community

At Hermitage, we love being part of a caring and connected community. Giving back is something we’re truly passionate about, which is why we’ve chosen to support two incredible charities. Rainbows is a local hospice and a cause that’s close to our hearts, as it is continues to provide invaluable support to a family within our nursery community. We have also chosen to support Young Minds, because we believe that no child should feel alone with their mental health.

Throughout the year, we’ll be getting together for lots of fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days, to sponsored challenges. Together we can make a difference to such an important cause and inspire our children to grow with kindness and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a community! Keep an eye out for updates on our events and how you can get involved in supporting our chosen charities.
