We are delighted to welcome new children to our Nursery at Aldbury Primary School. We offer a safe and caring environment where children experience a wide range of opportunities for educational and creative play, both indoors and outdoors.
Our Nursery provision forms part of our Early Years Foundation Stage unit, meaning they are taught in a mixed Nursery/Reception class, by skilled and experienced professionals, including a qualified teacher.

Pupils in Nursery follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
These include:
Three prime areas:
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED).
• Communication and Language (CL).
• Physical Development (PD).
Four specific areas:
• English.
• Mathematics.
• Understanding the World.
• Expressive Arts and Design.
Nursery pupils are involved in a wide range of topic-based activities which promote all areas of the Early Years Curriculum with a particular emphasis on personal, social and emotional development. Their learning is achieved through both adult led and child initiated experiences.
