Bligh's Lane Nursery School

Welcome to Bligh's Lane Nursery School!

Nestled in the heart of Derry, Northern Ireland, Bligh's Lane Nursery School has been a cherished place for young learners since 1979. With 52 full-time spots available, we proudly support children during their important pre-school year.

Our school is set in its own beautiful grounds in Lower Creggan, where we have created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Over the years, we have made significant improvements to our facilities, including a major renovation in 2001 and a modern extension completed in 2018. These updates have helped us provide a bright, stimulating, and safe environment where children can thrive.

At Bligh's Lane, we believe in nurturing the 'whole child'. We work closely with parents to build strong relationships, ensuring that every child feels supported and loved. Our motto, 'Learning Together for a Better Tomorrow,' reflects our commitment to fostering a collaborative and caring community.
