Nursery

Welcome to Albert Pye Nursery

At Albert Pye Nursery, we provide a warm, nurturing and exciting environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. We believe that every child deserves the very best start to their educational journey, and our experienced Early Years team works closely with families to ensure that each child feels happy, safe and valued.

Our nursery welcomes children from the term after their third birthday and offers both 15-hour and 30-hour funded childcare places for eligible families. Children learn through a carefully planned balance of child-initiated play, adult-guided activities and purposeful exploration, helping them to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need for future success.

Learning Through Play

We recognise that young children learn best through meaningful experiences and play. Our stimulating indoor and outdoor learning environments encourage children to:

• Develop strong communication and language skills
• Build positive friendships and social confidence
• Explore early reading, writing and mathematical concepts
• Develop creativity, imagination and problem-solving skills
• Strengthen their physical development and independence
• Foster curiosity about the world around them

Our curriculum is carefully designed to support all areas of learning and development while responding to children's interests and individual needs.

A Caring and Inclusive Environment

At Albert Pye Nursery, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate every child as a unique individual and work closely with families to ensure that all children can thrive. Through our "vital for some, valuable for all" approach, we provide high-quality universal provision alongside targeted support where needed, enabling every child to reach their full potential.

Working in Partnership with Families

We believe that children achieve the best outcomes when parents and school work together. Our team values strong relationships with families and provides regular opportunities to share children's learning, celebrate achievements and discuss next steps. We are committed to creating a welcoming community where parents and carers feel informed, involved and supported.

Preparing for the Next Step

Our nursery forms an important part of the Albert Pye and Ravensmere community. Children benefit from strong links with our Reception classes, ensuring a smooth and confident transition into school. Through familiar routines, shared experiences and close collaboration between staff, children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.

We would be delighted to welcome you to Albert Pye Nursery and show you the exciting opportunities available for your child. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit and see our wonderful nursery in action.

Funding and session information is available through our Nursery Admissions Policy, including 15-hour and 30-hour funded places for eligible families.
