School Programs at Nottingham Nursery School

Welcome! If you’re looking for a place where little kids can play, discover, and learn, you’ve come to the right spot. Our school programs are built around curious minds and busy hands, giving each child a safe space to try new things every day.

What We Teach – A Simple, Balanced Curriculum

Our curriculum mixes three core parts: play‑based learning, guided discovery, and real‑world skills. In the morning, children join circle time where they sing, count, and share stories. This builds language and social skills without feeling like a lesson.

After circle time, we move to activity stations. One corner might have blocks for building, another a sand table for sensory play, and a third a little kitchen for pretend cooking. These stations let kids practice math, fine‑motor work, and creativity while they’re having fun.

Daily Schedule – Structured Yet Flexible

A typical day starts with warm greetings and free play. Then we have short, focused chunks of learning—usually 15‑20 minutes each—so children stay engaged but never bored. Mid‑day we enjoy a healthy snack, outdoor time, and a story break. The afternoon might include art projects, simple science experiments, or a nature walk.

We keep the routine predictable so kids feel secure, yet we adjust activities based on interests. If a child shows a keen interest in dinosaurs, we’ll add dinosaur books, puzzles, and a mini‑excavation dig to the day’s plan.

Our teachers watch each child closely, noting strengths and challenges. This helps us personalize support—whether a little one needs extra help with sharing or wants more advanced puzzles.

We also involve parents through weekly newsletters, photo updates, and open‑door evenings. When you know what’s happening in the classroom, you can extend learning at home with simple games or discussions.

Special programs run throughout the year. We host seasonal festivals, guest visits from local musicians, and occasional field trips to nearby parks or libraries. These experiences broaden horizons and reinforce classroom topics.

Safety is a top priority. All rooms are child‑proofed, toys are regularly cleaned, and staff are trained in first aid and child protection. Parents can feel confident that their child is in good hands.

In short, our school programs blend play, guidance, and community to give every child a strong start. If you want a nurturing environment where your little one can explore, ask questions, and grow, Nottingham Nursery School is ready to welcome you.
