Mina Lopato Nursery School – Where Childhood is Celebrated

For over 65 years, Mina Lopato Nursery School has provided a warm, nurturing, and inclusive environment where young children are encouraged to learn, explore, and thrive. Located in the heart of The Parks, our school offers a unique blend of play-based learning, strong values, and meaningful relationships that lay the foundation for lifelong learning.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our curriculum is child-centred, hands-on, and designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of discovery. From our sensory-rich learning spaces and outdoor adventure areas to our much-loved library and specialist sensory room, every environment is thoughtfully created to inspire wonder and engagement.

We are proudly screen-free, believing that childhood should be filled with imagination, conversation, movement, nature, and authentic connections. Our experienced and caring educators partner closely with families to support each child’s individual journey, celebrating their strengths while nurturing confidence, independence, and resilience.

As an inclusive, community-focused school, we welcome families from diverse backgrounds and are committed to creating a place where every child feels valued, supported, and loved.

At Mina Lopato Nursery School, we don’t just prepare children for school—we help them build strong foundations for life.
