Burlish Park Primary School
Welcome to Nursery
We are delighted to welcome you to Burlish Park Nursery, where every child is encouraged to learn, explore and grow in a caring and nurturing environment.
Nursery Opening Hours
Our Nursery is open term-time only, Monday to Friday, from 8:50 am to 3:00 pm.
We also offer a Nursery Wraparound Service for families who need additional childcare, with Breakfast Club from 7:30 am and After School Care until 6:00 pm.
Families can use their 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare during Nursery hours, with the option to book additional sessions if required.
At Burlish Park Nursery, we aim to:
- Provide a safe, happy and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, included and respected.
- Help children develop confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
- Offer exciting, hands-on experiences that support learning across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
- Build strong partnerships with parents and carers, working together to help every child thrive and reach their full potential.
- Celebrate and support every child, regardless of their background, culture, religion, gender, special educational needs or disability.
- Encourage curiosity and exploration through our spacious outdoor learning environment, where children can enjoy fresh air, nature and outdoor adventures throughout the year.
We believe that children learn best when they feel happy, secure and inspired. Our dedicated team is committed to giving every child the best possible start to their learning journey.
