Little Explorers Nursery at Parkside 

It was with great pleasure that, in September 2015, Parkside Primary School opened an on-site Governor Run Nursery. Little Explorers Nursery launched on the 10th September 2015, taking children from the age of two to four years, in a brand new, multi-purpose Foundation Stage unit. The success of our Nursery has continued to grow, evidence of this can be found in our recent Ofsted report from July 2022. Due to popular demand, we are now happy to announce a second, on site, nursery provision opening in January 2024 for our 2/3 year olds. 

Our Nursery offers wrap- around care for two and three years old.

If you would like more information or to come and have a look around, please contact the school office on 01785 450145 or Mrs Dennett our Early Years Lead.

The Explorers/Adventurers  

Our youngest children are The Explorers and Adventurers. This room provides opportunities for our children to foster warm and nurturing relationships with their key workers. We prepare our children to be lifelong learners through consistent and embedded routines. Learning is led by our curious children’s interests and enhanced through high-quality interactions with our skilled practitioners. We promote an early exploration of the world around us. We provide a multitude of opportunities to appreciate the importance of community. 

The Investigators

Our pre- school children are The Investigators. This room ignites a love of learning that children will cherish throughout their school journey. We prepare our children for Reception readiness through building healthy relationships with their peers and adults alike. Learning is a collaboration of children’s curiosities punctuated with carefully planned adult -led learning. We promote a wealth of opportunities to foster independence so that our children are fully equipped for their Reception pathway.
