Headteacher’s Welcome

A warm welcome to Knowle West Nursery School, and we hope you find our website useful and informative.

Knowle West Nursery School is one of Bristol’s twelve local authority-maintained nursery schools, and we offer exceptional early years education in a beautiful, stimulating learning environment. Under the shared leadership of Jenny McDonald and Rachel Stoyell, the school nurtures a family-centred ethos that places children’s happiness and wellbeing at its core.

The school is located at the heart of the Knowle West community, where generations of families have been welcomed, and it offers a strong commitment to ensuring everyone matters and belongs.  

It is a privilege to be the Headteacher of such a wonderful school. I am passionate about continuing our work for the Knowle West community.
