Midland Road Nursery School & Children's Centre

Nursery School Rooms for 3-5 year olds

The Green Room

The Blue and Green Rooms are organised into clearly defined areas to accommodate different activities appropriate to the development, interest and capabilities of the children. These areas are divided by the use of low-level shelving that reduces distraction and allows children to become engrossed in their activities.

In these two rooms and outside OFSTED 2007 said ‘Teachers create the most exhilarating learning environments’ and ‘dedicated spaces house every aspect of learning, supported by children's work, beautifully displayed along with eye- catching models’

The Blue Room

Our Blue Room has more of the tactile exploratory provision such as sand, clay and paint that will give your child plenty of ‘hands on’ experience.

The snack and cooking area are also in the Blue Room.

Making snack

Handwashing is nearby for the children making or eating snack.

Children's handwash sink

The Green Room offers opportunities to use the Home corner, computers, Listening Area, Small Construction, jigsaws and math’s resources.

Books and writing resources are available in both rooms and outside to support your child’s learning.

Enjoying drawing on the verandah

Outside your child can play in a secure. attractive and exciting outdoor area.

A verandah area provides cover so that whatever the weather children can enjoy fresh air and physical activities. Waterproofs and wellies mean that children can experience different weather conditions.

The trail into our wild garden.

Your child will be able to take part in planting and growing activities in our growing area and then explore our wild garden.

Our hazel huts

Trees provide a shady area in the summer months and our little huts encourage imaginative play.

Playing on the grassy bank

Children can dig in the large sand pit, climb on the climbing equipment and run up the grassy bank.

Going Out

To supplement the nursery experience we organise a variety of visits out to extend children’s understanding of the world around them. Children are always accompanied by a qualified Paediatric First Aider. We go to places such as Central Library, Lister Park, Northcliffe Woods, St Ives, local shops and the Industrial Museum.

At Midland Road Nursery School your child will be able to be part of a ‘welcoming and secure environment, that is coupled with impressive levels of care, guidance and support ‘ OFSTED 2007
