A nurturing, purpose-built nursery where every child is supported to learn, grow and thrive.
Our Story
Strawberry How Nursery School is a premium, purpose-built early years setting in Cockermouth, where children are given the time, attention, and care they deserve.
We provide high-quality childcare and early education in a warm, nurturing environment where every child is known as an individual, every milestone is celebrated, and every stage of development is thoughtfully supported.
Nursery Management
The Nursery is overseen by the Nursery Owner, Ankit Mathur, who holds responsibility for overall governance, quality standards and the long-term vision of the setting.
Day-to-day leadership and operational management are entrusted to the Nursery Manager, Casey Turner, who is supported by the wider team to ensure consistently high standards across all rooms and areas of the nursery.
Our Commitment
We are deeply mindful of the responsibility placed on us to care for and educate young children during their most important developmental years. This commitment is reflected in everything we do, from leadership and staffing to daily practice and communication with families.
Continuous Professional Development
Planning for children is detailed, purposeful, and individualised. Key persons develop tailored learning plans and maintain ongoing assessment records for each child. This structured approach is balanced with responsive “in the moment” teaching, ensuring that children’s interests, emotional needs, and developmental stages are always at the centre of practice.
We place great importance on open and consistent communication with parents. Families are kept closely informed through secure Tapestry updates, where each child’s learning journey is regularly documented, alongside wider communication through newsletters and updates covering key events, activities, visits, and important dates such as photography sessions and parent meetings.
As children move through the Nursery, transitions between rooms are planned with great care and sensitivity. We recognise the importance of continuity and emotional security, ensuring every child and family feels confident and supported throughout their journey with us
