A message from the class teacher.
As a qualified teacher, with other professional Early Years qualifications in childcare and over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, I lead the nursery and staff team to ensure we provide a welcoming, secure, and nurturing family environment.
We want our families to feel that they are part of our community at Buckshaw Primary Nursery and that they can feel at ease and confident knowing that their children are being cared for by a kind and dedicated staff in a loving environment.
Our Outdoor Adventures
Not only to do have a fantastic outdoor play area and school grounds, we also enjoy taking the children on regular walks out into our community and local area. Astley Park is a stone’s throw away from school and offers wealth of amazing learning opportunities for the children to experience.
We believe that bad weather should not stop our learning ang growing, only inappropriate clothing. We ask that parents provide their children with the appropriate clothing depending on the season.

The Areas of Learning and Development:
There are seven areas of learning and development that shape our educational programme.
All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected.
Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.
The three prime areas are:
Personal, Social and Emotional
Physical Development
Communication and Language
