ROSEMARY NURSERY

Rosemary Nursery School was founded by the Quakers' Society of Friends. Then, as now, they wanted to work for social justice and the Nursery developed after several years of more informal after school clubs, creches and classes for parents. A suffragist called Mabel Tothill who was also Bristol's first woman councillor, ran these classes at her home on Rosemary Street and that is where the Nursery got its name... Rosemary Nursery School is the oldest nursery school in Bristol and one of fewer than 400 nursery schools in England... We are proud to be part of the most diverse community in the south-west of England. We respect each person's unique background and try to make sure that everyone's contribution is equally listened to and valued.
