Nursery

Welcome to the New Nursery at Red Rose Primary School

Thank you for your interest in our brand-new Nursery, opening in September 2026. This exciting addition to Red Rose will provide a nurturing, stimulating, and inspiring environment tailored specifically for children aged 3 to 4 years.

Why Choose Red Rose Nursery?

• Expert Led: High-quality early education delivered by an experienced teacher and a passionate support team.
• The Perfect Foundation: Located within our existing school building, our nursery provides a seamless transition into primary school life.
• Engaging Curriculum: Detailed curriculum planning will focus primarily on the Prime areas of learning: Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social, and Emotional well-being.
• Outdoor Learning: Children will enjoy a blend of indoor and outdoor learning, including weekly access to our Forest School provision.

Flexible Sessions

We offer both 15 and 30-hour places, with the option to increase hours (subject to availability). 

Our 30 hour offer is

Monday to Thursday: 8:45am to 3:00pm
Friday: 8:45am to 1:45pm
Option of an additional 1.25 hours paid top up until 3:00pm on Fridays (£6.80)

Children will need to bring a packed lunch or pay for a school meal (£3.08)

A Supportive Transition Programme

We understand that starting nursery is a big milestone for both children and parents. To ensure every child feels safe, happy, and “known” from day one, we have a comprehensive transition programme in place, including:

• Staggered Start Dates: Allowing children to settle in small groups.

• Stay-and-Play Sessions: Opportunities for you and your child to explore the space together before the term begins.

• Home-School Links: A chance for our team to learn about your child’s unique interests and needs before they start.

Flexible Hours and Wraparound Care

We offer both 15 and 30-hour places (subject to availability). To support working families, we are also delighted to offer wraparound care in conjunction with our provider:
Mains House@Red Rose:

• Breakfast Club: Run by Red Rose staff from 8:00 am each morning (£4 per session).
• After School Club: Run by Mains House  until 6:00 pm (prices until 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm are available from Mains House upon request).
• Financial Support: Parents can use the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme to help cover these costs.

Nursery Viewings

We are currently working with leading EYFS practitioners in the region to plan and prepare our new provision. While internal building work will be completed over the summer holidays—meaning the room will not be a “working nursery” until September—we would love to meet you and show you around. 

Parents are warmly invited to contact the school office to arrange an individual tour. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the school, meet our team, and ask any questions you may have.

We look forward to meeting you soon!
