Brefne Integrated Nursery School opened in 1956
The principal of a long-serving North Belfast nursery has spoken at the privilege and joy she feels being able to teach at the school.
"We're one of the smallest nurseries in Northern Ireland, there are three one classroom nurseries left. We're also the first nursery school in Northern Ireland to transfer to integrated status. Mrs McGimpsey said although they're at the beginning of their integration journey, the nursery has already seen benefits from the change.
"The nursery is naturally quite integrated because of the curriculum, but we're now very proud to demonstrate and highlight how inclusive we are, and how we cater to all children and their uniqueness. "It's always a busy classroom, it's always on the go. The children's curiosity, their sense of wonder, the excitement they come in with every day is just fantastic, it's fantastic to be part of it," she added.
