Foundation 1 (Nursery)

 

A world of wonder. A place to belong. A journey to flourish.

At St. Edmund’s CofE Primary and Nursery School, our Nursery – also known as Foundation 1- is where children take their first steps on “…a journey to discover life in all its fullness” (John 10:10).

Starting Nursery is an important milestone. We work with families to help children feel safe, known and valued, building the confidence to explore, develop friendships and try something new.

Learning through play and discovery

Our Nursery is part of our Early Years provision, where thoughtfully planned spaces encourage children to investigate, create and grow in independence.

Children enjoy construction, imaginative role play, creative activities, stories, songs and practical exploration. Our adults join children in their learning, introducing new vocabulary, asking questions and helping them develop their ideas. Short, focused activities build early communication, literacy and mathematical skills.

Outdoor learning offers further opportunities for discovery. Our outdoor spaces include a pirate ship, planting areas and a storytelling garden, helping children explore the world around them and develop their physical skills.

Growing together

Learning to share, express feelings, care for others and persevere with challenges is an important part of Nursery life. Our Sixcess Values – Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, Compassion, Truth & Trust, and Justice & Forgiveness – guide these everyday experiences.

We recognise that every child develops differently. By getting to know your child and listening to you, we can understand their interests, celebrate their progress and identify the support they need.

Please contact our school office to discuss availability, funding arrangements and any additional charges.
