Welcome to LPS Nursery. We provide a caring, safe and stimulating environment for children from the age of 3 to begin their learning journey.
We feel extremely lucky to have such kind, experienced and qualified members of staff, including two qualified teachers and three adults with NNEBs. Our teachers use the Birth to Five framework to support planning as well as engaging children through activities based on their interests.
Children have the opportunity to develop their thinking and independence in an environment which supports creativity, curiosity and imagination, both indoors and out! We have beautiful grounds on our large site including fields, playgrounds, a new activity trail as well as a fantastic forest school area.
We have two intakes each year, September and January. Children can access funding from the term after their third birthday. We are able to offer 30 hours provision and additional hours to the core 15 hours if required.
We have staff trained on Early Talk Boost which supports children’s speech and language development. Tapestry is used as an additional communication tool to help connections between each child’s home and school life.
Our staff look forward to building relationships with you and your children. Please feel free to contact us via phone and/ or email regarding any questions you may have.

In the EYFS at LPS we aim to construct a curriculum that is purposeful, ambitious and designed to give children the knowledge, self-belief and cultural capital (life skills) they need to succeed in life and becoming independent learners. This will enable children to develop their resilience, ability to take risks and take pride in their own achievements. We expand children’s knowledge and experiences through the seven areas of learning. Our curriculum is purposeful and creates awe & wonder. Children are motivated to become enthusiastic within their learning and prepares them for school life and beyond.
Below are just some of the engaging activities that our children have enjoyed:
