Overview
Nursery at Queen’s Hill Primary School offers an engaging and nurturing environment for each child to learn and flourish. Our goal is to instill a ‘Passion for Learning’ that will continue throughout pupils' lives by providing stimulating lessons, enquiry-based learning opportunities and a child-centred approach to help children develop their own love of learning.
We believe that each and every child has the right to achieve and in the Early Years we seek to develop this at every stage. Our purpose built Nursery classroom and outdoor area provide a rich environment in which the children can learn through their play and children are able to access our large outdoor area on a free-flow basis every day. A balance of adult-directed and child-initiated learning ensures that children make progress across all areas of their learning and development.
Nursery Admissions
We offer a warm and welcoming nursery environment with two flexible options to suit your family's needs.
You can choose from a morning session (8:30am – 11:30am) or a full day session (8:30am – 2:30pm).
We have 21 places available, ensuring each child receives plenty of attention and support in a nurturing setting.
The provision is available from Monday to Friday, during term time.

Home communication
At Queen’s Hill Primary School we see education as a partnership between the home and school. We use Tapestry, an ‘online learning journal’ which enables you to see photographs, videos and written observations of the activities your child does at school. Good relationships between parents and staff are valued and there are frequent opportunities for parents to come in and share what their child has been doing.
