Hope Nursery School, Belfast

Welcome

Welcome to Hope Nursery School

“Step by step, learning together.”

At Hope Nursery School, we believe every child’s first steps in learning should be happy, safe and full of wonder. Our caring team creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel valued, confident and ready to explore the world around them — step by step, learning together.

We’re proud to have been part of the Shankill and North Belfast community for over 40 years, offering high-quality pre-school education for children aged 3–4 years. With two bright, well-equipped classrooms and a team who love what they do, we help every child grow at their own pace through play, discovery and friendship.

Hope Nursery is open to children and families of all faiths, guided by values of kindness, respect and inclusion.

We would be delighted to welcome you to see our nursery in action.

To arrange a visit, please contact us on 028 9032 3185, we look forward to meeting you and your child soon!

Mrs R Doggart

Principal
