After many years of highly valued service, the Ark nursery closed in July 2021. Parents had just 3 months to find alternative childcare. The headteacher of Sibford Gower Primary school, with the full support of colleagues within the trust, made a fart track application to open a nursery on the school site. This was granted, and the school opened its doors to its first group of 3-4 years olds in September 2021.
