At Springfield Primary Academy Nursery we aim to provide a happy, secure, friendly and stimulating environment where children learn and have fun together supported by our professional and enthusiastic Nursery team.
As a nursery we aim to
- Develop a partnership with parents/carers, enabling children to learn at home and at nursery.
- Provide an environment which encourages children to talk, to listen and to share with adults and children.
- Provide a range of activities, which enables children to discuss, think, question and learn.
- Provide opportunities for parents/carers to share the progress and achievements of their child, to contribute to our observations and assessments of their child and therefore support our planning.
- Follow the principles of “The Early Years Foundation Stage” within all aspects of our practice.
- Interact with children so they gain knowledge and understanding of the world, of themselves and of others, whilst building a foundation for lifelong learning.
- Provide an environment, which is welcoming, safe and stimulating, where children enjoy themselves, grow in confidence and fulfil their potential.

- Morning: 9am -12pm
