Summer School Programs at Nottingham Nursery School

Looking for a place where your little one can stay busy, learn new skills, and have a blast during the holidays? Our summer school programs blend play and education so kids keep growing while you enjoy peace of mind. We’ve built a schedule that fits families, offers variety, and follows the same nurturing approach we use all year.

What Makes Our Summer Programs Different?

First, safety is non‑negotiable. Every room is child‑proofed, staff are fully vetted, and we keep ratios low so each child gets attention. Second, we keep the curriculum light but purposeful. Activities are themed each week – think ‘Nature Explorers’, ‘Mini Scientists’, ‘Creative Builders’, and ‘Little Artists’. These themes give structure without feeling like school work.

Third, we blend indoor and outdoor time. Our garden area hosts sand‑pit play, water tables, and simple gardening. Outdoor art stations let kids paint with brushes, sponges, and even natural leaves. The mix of fresh air and hands‑on projects helps children stay active and focused.

Program Options and How to Join

We offer three main options:

• Full‑Day (8 am‑3 pm) – Ideal for working parents. Kids enjoy a morning circle, snack, themed lessons, lunch, and an afternoon free‑play period.
• Half‑Day Morning (8 am‑12 pm) – Perfect for families who prefer afternoons at home. Morning includes circle time, a theme activity, and a nutritious snack.
• Half‑Day Afternoon (12 pm‑3 pm) – Great for those who need a morning routine elsewhere. Starts with a light snack, then delves into the day's theme.

All slots include meals prepared on site: a balanced lunch and two snacks, all allergy‑aware. To enrol, simply fill out the online form on our website, pay the deposit, and we’ll confirm your child’s spot. Spots fill quickly, so early registration is the safest bet.

Parents love the daily report cards we send home. They give a snapshot of what was covered, any new words learned, and highlight moments of joy. You’ll also get photos (with permission) so you can see the fun in action.

We know the summer can be a pricey time, so we offer a sibling discount and a tuition‑break scholarship for families in need. Our goal is to keep the door open for every child who wants to explore, create, and make friends.

Ready to give your child a summer they’ll remember? Contact our reception by phone or email, or swing by for a quick tour. We’ll answer every question, show you the classroom, and let your child meet a few teachers. Summer school at Nottingham Nursery School isn’t just care—it’s a mini‑adventure that builds confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that lasts well beyond the holidays.
