Staghills Nursery School

A place where children lead the learning

About Us

 

We are a Lancashire County Council maintained Nursery School providing high quality early years education for two, three and four year old children. We provide a safe, stimulating, caring and loving environment that promotes child development in line with the principals of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our ethos is to focus on children's interests and this is woven into our curriculum sequences.. We seek to find out from children what it feels like to attend Staghills Nursery School. 

Our Acting Head Teacher has worked in Early Years in Primary Schools and our Nursery School.  Staff are all highly skilled and qualified in their field. The teachers work co-operatively with staff, to plan the provision working from our curriculum sequences for learning..  We promote a reflective practice where staff development is important and ongoing.

We actively promote outdoor play, with a wide range of equipment and activities. Children have termly access to our forest school.

We believe in welcoming the family and not just the child and to this end we offer opportunities for parents to become involved in their children's learning and nursery life.

We have intakes in January, April and September so no child is waiting too long to begin this exciting journey.

We offer the free 15 hours Early Years Funding and sessions for three and four year olds who are eligible for the Free 30 hour Funding. We will discuss further options of accessing our school on request.  We have provision for wrap around care and this includes breakfast and tea and full year care. Please contact our admin team to find out more about charges and the offer of the school. 

Two year olds who are not eligible for the Free entitlement are welcome and will be charged until the term after their third birthday. Families can buy in a range of sessions so it is worth contacting the school for further information.
