Nursery at Nightingale Primary School
At Nightingale Primary School, we provide a well-rounded curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring that children receive the highest standard of teaching and learning from the moment they join us in the Nursery. This foundational year marks the beginning of your child’s school journey, and we are committed to fostering their curiosity, readiness to learn, and love of exploration through play and structured educational experiences.
Comprehensive Support Programs
We support children’s mathematical development using programs like Maths Mastery and Number Talks, designed to strengthen their understanding of key mathematical concepts. Additionally, to support early language development, we implement Early Talk Boost and NELI (Nuffield Early Language Intervention), both of which are instrumental in helping children develop their communication skills.
Focused Group Work and Skill Development
Throughout the day, we work with children in small, focused groups to provide personalized attention that enhances not only their academic progress but also their social, emotional, and gross motor skills. Activities are designed to engage children in various aspects of learning, ensuring a holistic development approach.
Free-Flow Learning Environment
Our Nursery promotes independence and self-confidence by offering a blend of adult-led and child-initiated activities. Through free-flow learning, children engage with various opportunities, both in the classroom and in our spacious Nursery garden, allowing them to explore their environment while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Safe and Happy Explorers
We believe that children should be happy, safe, and well-rounded explorers, fully equipped for their transition to Reception. Our curriculum reflects this by providing enriching experiences that encourage children to be active learners within the school and the wider community.
Parental Engagement
We maintain close communication with parents through Class Dojo, where we share your child’s learning journey, highlight exciting activities, and provide useful information to support learning at home. Our nursery teachers are available for quick chats during drop-off and pick-up times, but if you have any pressing concerns, we encourage you to contact the school office. We will ensure that your queries are addressed promptly.
At Nightingale, we are proud of our nurturing environment, ensuring that every child feels valued and inspired to learn.
