This setting is a maintained nursery school.

Gill Blowers Nursery is a split site school, having one centre situated at Mossdale Court (2 to 5 years old), and another at Leabank (2 to 5 years old). Both nurseries are unique because they are underneath the tower blocks of flats.

The nursery provides high quality early years care and education for pupils from 2 to 5 years of age. Although having been established for some years, they became a nursery school in 1999.

Gill Blowers Nursery is named in memory of the woman who vigorously campaigned to open the two sites. Retaining the name is seen as a fitting tribute, and a celebration of the work she undertook.
