We are an Outstanding Nursery for 3 & 4 year olds. Our latest Ofsted report is here.
We were awarded the Lancashire Quality Award in December 2020.
Please scroll down this page to see our twitter feed which gives you a flavour of the activities the children have enjoyed over the last few days. There is also our home school liaison which parents receive every other week. This lets you know what our Nursery children will experience over those two weeks and gives you ideas of how you can support with this at home. You can also find our Early Years Foundation Stage Policy and some useful websites, apps and information. Under Statutory Information/Curriculum there is also more information about what children learn in the Early Years Foundation Stage along with photographs of learning in action at Newburgh.
At Newburgh Nursery children are encouraged to develop key skills in preparation for school including letter and number recognition, mark making, creativity and independence. Skillwise sports run one pre-school session each week with Nursery children to develop key physical development skills. Nursery children also participate in Forest School every Friday afternoon.
At Newburgh Nursery we use a key person system which provides your child with a member of staff they have developed a good relationship with. Although all of our children have the chance to engage with all members of staff and may make strong relationships with all; the key person system allows one member of our setting to be responsible for your child's development and assessments. The system also allows you as a parent to develop a good parent partnership with us and any opportunities for supporting your child or any queries you may have, can be dealt with by your child's key person. Parent evenings and open mornings that we hold will allow you to discuss your child's development with your key person and consider your child's well-being. However, we are ALL responsible for the safety, care and development of every child in our setting and you may speak to any one of us. After a couple of weeks in Nursery when your child has made these attachments and their baseline assessment has been completed; you will be updated via tapestry of your child's initial next step along with who your child's key person will be.
We offer up to 30 free hours per week via the Early Years Free Entitlement Scheme and we accept childcare vouchers. The cost of places is:-
Full day - £32.50
Half day - £15.00
Half day including lunch time - £17.50
Lunchtime session when not covered by free hours - £2.50
