We are excited to share a proposal to open a nursery at our school, 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.
Our proposal is for a 20 place nursery for children aged 3-4 years old.
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.
We know that early education plays a critical role in a child's development, setting them up for lifelong learning success. We aim to:
Alleviate Local Demand: With nursery places in high demand, we aim to provide an accessible, high-quality option for our families.
Build Strong Foundations: Our nursery would reflect the same care, teaching, and high standards that make Christ Church Upper Armley CE Primary School such special places to learn.
This proposal aligns with the Department of Education’s focus on maximising 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.
We invite you to take part in our consultation process, running from 19th December 2024 – 24th January 2025.
