The nursery occupies the former National School in Carmarthen Street. Before local councils took over the running of schools c1870, church or chapel authorities were given responsibility for running primary school education. The National Society (Church of England) for Promoting Religious Education created a network of more than 5,000 schools in the UK which became known as National Schools. When it was founded in 1811, the National Society's aim was that the "national religion should be made the foundation of national education. Education for all, firmly based on the Christian Gospel and Anglican principles". Non-conformist chapels had a similar, though much smaller, network of schools run by the British and Foreign Schools Society, known as British Schools.
