Welcome to Elloughton Primary School Nursery
Small steps, big adventures: nurturing the whole child
At Elloughton, we believe that children flourish when they feel safe, valued, and truly known. Our Nursery is a vibrant, engaging space where a warm, community-led ethos meets a commitment to high-quality early education.
As the first chapter of the Elloughton Primary story, we focus on nurturing well-rounded individuals. By prioritising well-being, independence, and confidence, we ensure every child develops the foundations they need to naturally become "school-ready."

Your Child’s Key Worker
We know that starting Nursery is a significant milestone. To ensure your child feels a deep sense of belonging from day one, they will be paired with a Key Worker. More than just a point of contact, your child’s Key Worker is their champion and their dedicated support at school. They take the time to truly understand your child’s unique personality, their interests, and what makes them excited to learn. This close bond allows us to:

E-Safety
We regularly teach the children the importance of staying safe on the internet.
We take part in e-safety day each year and it provides an opportunity for schools to make the most of the positive opportunities offered online, whilst giving young people the resilience, skills, knowledge and support they need to navigate any online risks they may come across.
We also have weekly e-safety circle questions to broaden the children's thinking and raise important topics to keep them safe online.
