Nursery Consultation
Exciting New Proposal: Nursery Provision at Whitkirk Primary School
Whitkirk Primary School is excited to share a proposal to open a nursery on our school grounds! This addition would create 26 places for three-year-olds, helping to meet the growing demand for nursery spaces in our local area. While nearby nurseries provide excellent services, we understand that they’re often fully booked, leaving families facing long waiting lists. Our new nursery would offer another convenient, high-quality option right within the community, supporting more families to access early years education close to home.
This proposal is dependent on securing government funding, as well as gathering input from our community during the consultation process. Your feedback is essential to help us move forward with this project and meet the needs of local families.
Benefits of Our Proposed Nursery
We know that early education plays a critical role in a child's development, setting them up for lifelong learning success. By opening a nursery at Whitkirk Primary, we aim to:
-
Alleviate Local Demand: With nursery places in high demand, we aim to provide an accessible, high-quality option for our families.
-
Offer Holiday Club Support: Families would benefit from year-round care through our Wraparound Care and holiday club services, giving added flexibility and continuity in child care.
-
Build Strong Foundations: Our nursery would reflect the same care, teaching, and high standards that make Whitkirk Primary such a special place to learn.
This proposal aligns with the Department of Education’s focus on maximizing school facilities for early years education. It’s our mission to create a nurturing, supportive environment that sets a strong foundation for children’s educational journey and complements the excellent early learning settings in our area.
