Nursery Provision
Our Nursery is a vibrant, welcoming and busy place to learn, where children are encouraged to explore, discover and develop their independence from the moment they join us. Beginning with our youngest children at age 2, our Nursery provides a nurturing and exciting learning journey through to our 3 and 4 year old provision. Our experienced and dedicated staff create a caring environment where every child is known, valued and supported to flourish. With a wonderful balance of purposeful play, engaging experiences and opportunities to learn both indoors and outdoors, our Nursery is a place where children can grow in confidence, build friendships and develop a lifelong love of learning.

When Will My Child Start?
Depending on the number of children already in the class, your child will usually be offered a start date the term after their birthday. The type of funding you are using will also determine when your child can start.
Nursery places are allocated according to our priority criteria. Children living within the school catchment area are given first priority, followed by children who have a sibling already attending the school, and then children applying from outside the catchment area.
Starting Nursery
We understand that starting Nursery is a big step for both children and their families, and we want to make the transition as happy and smooth as possible.
During the term before your child is due to start Nursery, you will be invited to a new starter meeting. This will give you the opportunity to find out everything you need to know about starting Nursery, visit the Nursery setting, meet the staff and ask any questions you may have.
It will also be an opportunity to share important information about your child with their class teacher, helping us to get to know them and ensure that they feel happy, safe and ready to learn from their very first day.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our Nursery community.
Nursery Application Form
Please complete this form (before your child’s third birthday) to register your child for a place in our Nursery. You will receive an email with an offer of a place usually 2-3 months prior to your child’s birthday.
Please indicate your preference for sessions. Ensure you select more than one if appropriate, for example if you are applying for a place in the Little A’s and Nursery you will need to tick both.
The offer of a nursery place does not guarantee a place in school – all school places are applied for with Middlesbrough Council Admissions Department.
Please remember to inform the school if you change either your telephone contact number(s) or home address prior to a nursery place being offered. Any oversight could jeopardise your child being offered a place. Thank you.
