All Saints Bedworth CofE Academy Nursery

A three-hour session or a six-hour day gives All Saints Bedworth’s nursery a clear practical shape. This is the academy’s own nursery, based at the infant site on The Priors, off Mitchell Road in Bedworth. Families can choose the morning or afternoon pattern for 15-hour children; 30-hour children attend from morning to mid-afternoon.

The strongest educational endorsement is specific to early years. Ofsted graded the school’s early years provision Outstanding at the inspection on 28 and 29 November 2023. That judgement covers early years within the academy, rather than a separately inspected nursery.

In November 2023, the early years findings connected substantial curriculum progress with teaching tailored to each child. Activities supported enjoyment as well as learning. For families, the strength was the fit between a child’s needs and the work offered.

Learning also had a social dimension. Children collaborated very successfully with adults and with one another, paid close attention and showed enthusiasm for their activities. The picture is of children taking an active part in learning, with adult guidance and cooperation alongside it.

The timetable offers two distinct lengths of day. A morning or afternoon session lasts three hours, while the 30-hour pattern runs across six hours. That difference matters when matching nursery attendance to a child’s routine and the family’s working day.

Nursery staffing includes a class teacher working two days. Beyond the nursery team, the academy has a SENDCo and an inclusion coordinator with a family support role, giving parents routes for discussing learning needs and wider family concerns.

The school’s SEND approach uses a repeating cycle of assessment, planning, action and review. Adaptations include practical materials, visual prompts and dividing tasks into smaller steps. These are concrete ways of making learning more accessible, rather than expecting every child to tackle a task in the same way.

Children on the school’s SEN register have an individual One Page Profile and an APDR Plan, reviewed at least termly. Updated plans are shared with parents, who can give feedback and discuss them with staff. Family support also helps families access Warwickshire’s Early Support process. School meals are prepared on site by Caterlink; meal enquiries go through the office.

Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process. Applications for academy places go through the Warwickshire School Admissions Service, so nursery attendance and school admission need to be treated as separate decisions.

For 15-hour children, sessions run from 9am to noon or noon to 3pm. The 30-hour day runs from 9am to 3pm. These are the nursery hours to use when planning collection and work commitments.

Prospective parents can contact the academy office on 024 7631 3387 or email school.office@allsaintsbedworth.covmat.org. Academy visits can be arranged through the office. If someone other than a parent or an agreed contact will collect a child, the office must be informed.
