Welcome to Elloughton Primary School Nursery
Small steps, big adventures: nurturing the whole child
We are delighted to offer Nursery provision that complements our thriving Reception class. Our caring and dedicated staff provide children with rich experiences filled with excitement, curiosity and discovery in a happy and safe environment.
Nursery is often a child’s first step into the Elloughton family, and we work hard to ensure that every child feels welcomed, valued and supported. Our nurturing approach helps children build confidence and independence while preparing them for a smooth transition into Reception and the wider school.
Our Nursery Vision
To empower our children to be independent, well-rounded individuals who have a love of learning and seek
challenge in everything they do.
We are committed to creating an environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to explore. By building strong and trusting relationships, we help children flourish and develop a positive attitude towards learning.
We take time to get to know every child as an individual, ensuring their learning experiences reflect their interests, needs and fascinations.
Learning in Nursery
Our Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. This is a principle-led, child-centred and play-based curriculum that supports children’s development from birth to five years.
Our approach is guided by the Characteristics of Effective Learning, encouraging children to:
• play and explore
• actively engage in their learning
• think creatively and critically
Adults support children’s learning through high-quality interactions, carefully observing, modelling language and extending children’s thinking through play.
Through carefully planned play and exploration, children develop confidence, curiosity and independence while building strong foundations for future learning.

Working in Partnership with Parents
We believe that strong partnerships with parents are essential for children’s development. By working together, we can support each child’s learning and wellbeing.
We encourage parents to share information about their child, communicate regularly with staff and take part in nursery life whenever possible.

Starting Nursery

Government funding is available from the start of the first full term after a child turns three. Sessions taken before this time are payable.
Starting Nursery is an exciting step, and we support children and families carefully during this transition to help them feel confident, settled and ready to begin their learning journey.
