Stag Lane Primary School & Nursery

We are a large 75 place school nursery accepting 3 and 4 year olds. We accept 15 hour and 30 hour funded places. We have 3 nursery nurses and 1 fully qualified class teacher. Our nursery has large inside and outside areas. It is well resourced with a book area, home corner, water, sand, creative, construction and small world area inside. The outside has a mud kitchen, large sand pit, water, role play areas, small world, mark making, maths and a space for large gross motor skills. The children have their own peg and box for their belongings and we have toilets in the nursery building. Please see the videos below to see how our nursery looks

We offer a specially tailored Early Years foundation stage curriculum which builds on each child's interests and what he/she already knows and can do.

We believe that children learn best by leading their own play. (EYFS Framework p.9). We offer all our children a broad and balanced curriculum with challenging activities, materials and experiences to explore, both inside and outdoors.  The adults teach the children by joining them in their play, looking for teachable moments and scaffolding in order to move on the children’s learning. The adults also teach the children in short adult-led group times to teach communication and language, phonics and Maths.

• ·         To establish an atmosphere that is secure and reassuring, and that builds on the warmth and trust of home.

  ·         To create a happy, sharing and caring environment where all children enjoy coming and are excited by learning through play and so become independent active learners.

  ·         To provide a well-planned and enriched curriculum that underpins all future learning by supporting, fostering and developing children physically, emotionally and intellectually

  ·         To encourage and develop positive attitudes – respect for each other’s ideas, taking turns and sharing, so that each child can be accepted as an individual with different needs, skills and interests.
