Nursery
Give Your Child the Best Possible Start at Sexton's Manor Nursery
A happy place to learn, grow, explore and thrive.
Choosing the right nursery for your child is a big decision. At Sexton's Manor Primary School, we believe that the early years should be filled with happiness, curiosity, discovery and exciting opportunities to learn. Our nursery provides a warm, stimulating and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to develop confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
We welcome children from the age of three, offering them the opportunity to enjoy up to two years of nursery education before moving on to Reception. This valuable time gives children the chance to develop at their own pace, build friendships and acquire the skills and confidence they need for the next stage of their educational journey.
Room to grow, space to explore
Our nursery offers a wonderful environment in which young children can flourish. We have a large, welcoming indoor learning space, complete with self-contained toilets, alongside an extensive outdoor area where children have plenty of room to run, play, investigate and explore.
We know that children learn in different ways and that their interests and experiences help shape their understanding of the world. Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully organised and continually adapted to reflect children's needs, interests and stages of development. Whether they are building, creating, experimenting, sharing stories or enjoying the freedom of outdoor play, there are always opportunities to discover something new.
Learning with purpose, growing with confidence
As a primary school, we understand just how important the early years are in shaping a child's future. Our experienced staff have a strong understanding of child development and know how to create the foundations children need to thrive, both academically and emotionally.
We follow the Department for Education's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, using its guidance to plan an engaging and stimulating curriculum that inspires children to explore, question, investigate and learn. Through a carefully balanced combination of purposeful play, practical experiences and adult-led learning, we nurture children's development across all areas of the early years curriculum.
Most importantly, learning does not happen in isolation. Our staff spend time alongside the children throughout the day, listening to their ideas, joining in with their play, asking thoughtful questions and introducing new challenges. These interactions help to extend children's thinking, develop their language and communication skills and encourage them to take their learning further.
We recognise that every child is unique. By getting to know each child, understanding what interests them and identifying where they are in their development, we can provide experiences that challenge, motivate and support them to make progress.
Happy children, confident learners
We want every child to feel that nursery is a place where they belong, where their ideas are valued and where they can achieve great things.
During their time with us, children develop so much more than early academic skills. They learn to share, cooperate, communicate, solve problems and manage their feelings. They become increasingly independent, develop resilience when faced with challenges and grow in confidence as they discover what they can do.
We are incredibly proud of our nursery and, above all, of the happy, enthusiastic children who make it such a special place. Seeing children grow in confidence, become curious and independent learners and develop the skills to embrace new challenges is what makes our work so rewarding.
By the time they leave nursery, we want children to feel excited and ready for their next adventure. Being part of Sexton's Manor means that they have already begun building relationships with our school and developing the confidence, curiosity and foundations that will help them make a happy and successful transition into Reception.

A little note about our photographs
You may notice that we don't use photographs of children on our website. This is a conscious decision made in line with our Trust's commitment to safeguarding and protecting the privacy of every child in our care. In an increasingly digital world, we believe it is important to take every precaution to protect children's images and identities, including the potential misuse of photographs through artificial intelligence.
Please don't mistake the absence of smiling faces in our photographs for an absence of smiles in our nursery! Our days are full of laughter, friendships, curiosity, discovery and happy memories. We are incredibly proud of our children and the wonderful learning that takes place every day. We simply choose to celebrate this in ways that put their safety and privacy first.
