Nursery at Boynton Primary School

Woodland play and a classroom shared with older children give Boynton’s nursery its character. Three-year-olds join a mixed Nursery and Reception class at Boynton Primary School, in Boynton village near Bridlington. The younger and older children spend most of their day together, rather than meeting only for occasional activities.
An indoor learning area, outdoor space and a corridor area belong to the Foundation class. Children also use the school playground and woodland. For families who want their child to become familiar with school life early, that shared setting is a concrete part of the nursery experience.
Play sits alongside short teaching inputs. The Foundation timetable begins with registration and activities including Wake Up Shake Up, Rainbow Breathing and Pen Disco. Phonics follows, then children move between indoor and outdoor exploration, with adults leading activities too. A morning snack and a maths input punctuate the play. Afternoon activities include Dough Disco and literacy, with singing, a story and circle time towards the end.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) combines early reading, writing and maths with physical, communication and social development. Here, staff plan those skills into play each week and also work individually with children. Provision changes in response to children’s interests and needs, giving the teaching a connection to what they are exploring.
Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised provides the nursery’s Foundations for Phonics approach. Daily practice centres on oral blending, stories and rhymes: children listen to sounds and practise hearing how they fit together. Environmental sound games build listening skills before more formal phonics teaching. Writing begins with mark making. Library books are changed on Tuesdays for nursery children, linking classroom reading with home.
Outdoor learning continues in different weather conditions, so suitable clothing matters. The woodland and playground extend the spaces children can explore beyond the classroom. In September 2023, Ofsted found that early-years children were making a good start in phonics and enjoyed demonstrating their sound knowledge.
An EYFS teacher and two nursery nurses form the Foundation class team. Settling is an explicit focus at the start of the autumn term: building friendships, getting used to routines and becoming familiar with the setting. Older classmates also help younger children, making peer support part of daily life.
Class Dojo connects learning at nursery with home. Parents can see daily activities and their child’s learning profile, and contribute experiences from home for the class to share. Learning journeys are also discussed at parents’ evenings, while parents can speak with staff at either end of the day.
Snack features in the morning routine, and the Foundation day includes lunch and playtime. Children attending Breakfast Club receive breakfast alongside games and activities. For SEND enquiries, the school office connects families with the SENCO; the school aims to meet additional needs within its mainstream provision.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application to the local authority where they live, meeting its normal application deadline. East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the school’s admission authority; families living outside East Riding apply through their home authority.
Familiarity and admission are separate matters. Sharing the Foundation class means nursery children already know the learning spaces and spend time with Reception children. That provides continuity for children who subsequently take a Reception place here, but does not secure one.
Morning nursery sessions run from 8:50am to noon; afternoon sessions are 12:30pm to 3:30pm. Funded placements of 30 hours are offered, alongside additional half-day sessions. Lunchtime carries a separate charge unless the child stays for a full day. Contact the school for current charges.
Breakfast Club accepts nursery children from Monday to Friday, 7:45am to 8:40am, in the School Hall. Places are limited and require advance booking. Changes, cancellations and new bookings need at least 24 hours’ notice, a practical consideration for families with changing work schedules.
