Wombridge Primary School Nursery
We opened our new Nursery in September 2025.
Please call our school office on 01952 388040 to register your interest.
We welcome 3- and 4-year-olds, offering both 15-hour and 30-hour places during term time only, with the option to request additional sessions (subject to availability). We offer a flexible approach to hours to support the needs of our families.
There are three intake points, so your child can start the term after their 3rd birthday—we are committed to being flexible to meet the needs of our families.
Our Nursery is a key part of our Early Years Unit, led by our experienced and dedicated Early Years Lead, Mrs Morris.
Nursery sessions will run as follows:

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Wombridge Primary School
Nursery Curriculum Overview (002)
At Wombridge Primary School, our EYFS provision nurtures a love for learning through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. We provide a safe, stimulating environment where children develop essential skills in communication, creativity, and independence.
Our curriculum follows the EYFS framework, fostering growth across the seven areas of learning:
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
We believe in learning through hands-on experiences, encouraging curiosity, and supporting every child to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition into school life, creating a strong foundation for future success.
We welcome visits and questions—come and see the magic of early learning in action!
Please click on the links below which give some information on the EYFS framework and activity ideas to support learning.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework Framework
The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage provides the structure for our curriculum and approach. We use the four guiding principles to shape our practice:
· every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured;
· children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships;
· children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers; and
· children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates.
The framework covers the education and care of all children in Early Years provision, including children with special educational needs.

GLD
How is GLD (Good Level of Development in Children) Defined?
Children are defined as having reached a Good Level of Development at the end of the EYFS if they have achieved at least the ‘expected‘ level within:
- Prime Area: Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED)
- Prime Area: Physical Development (PD)
- Prime Area: Communication and Language (CL)
- Specific Area: Literacy (L)
- Specific Area: Mathematics (M)
There are two further Specific Areas of Learning:
- Expressive Arts & Design (EAD)
- Understanding the World (UtW)
These two further areas are evaluated in the EYFS Profile but are not required to achieve a GLD.
How is GLD Measured?
Children are judged to be either at an ‘emerging’, ‘expected’ or ‘exceeding’ level of development in relation to the Early Learning Goals.
Point scores are awarded as follows:
- Emerging (not achieving the expected outcomes of development) = 1
- Expected (firmly achieving the expected outcomes of development) = 2
- Exceeding (achieving above the expected outcomes of development) = 3
For a child to attain a GLD they must score 2 or more in all of the ELG areas identified above.
Learning in the Early Years is inspired by the children’s interests. We spend our time observing children and getting to know every one of them as an individual. This information is then used to plan learning opportunities which not only excite and engage the children, but also meets their individual needs. Children are encouraged to lead their own learning by choosing from a variety of interactive, open ended activities in both the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The following websites have excellent activities for your child to access, or feel free to speak to the staff in Early Years to find out more about how to support your child with their learning;
