Nursery at Litton CofE Primary School
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Forest School gives Litton Explorers its identity. This nursery sits within the grounds of Litton CofE Primary School, in the village of Litton in the Derbyshire Dales. The grounds are extensive, giving the provision a concrete outdoor setting rather than simply an outdoor theme.
For families drawn to a nursery attached to a village school, that combination is the central attraction: a named Forest School provision and a setting within the school site. The nursery choice still needs to stand on its own merits. Reception admission is a separate decision.
Litton Explorers is described as a Forest School nursery, making its outdoor identity the clearest feature of the provision. Its location in the school grounds is useful context for parents considering how the setting might suit their child. The physical setting matters here.
School tours can be arranged through the office. Ask whether a tour can include Litton Explorers and its outdoor grounds, so you can consider the nursery setting before choosing a place.
Special educational needs enquiries have a direct route to the school's SENCO through headteacher@litton.derbyshire.sch.uk. This gives parents a specific contact for discussing their child's needs, rather than relying only on a general enquiry.
The school's safeguarding structure includes a designated lead, a deputy lead and a safeguarding governor. These are distinct roles within the school team. For parents, the useful practical distinction is between the general office contact and the specialist route for special educational needs questions.
Attending Litton Explorers does not guarantee a Reception place at Litton CofE Primary School. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the relevant deadline. Choosing the nursery should therefore remain separate from planning the next school application.
The school admissions page directs parents to Derbyshire County Council's school admissions service and to the school's admission policy. Use that route for the Reception application; a nursery place should never be treated as confirmation of a later school place.
General enquiries can go to enquiries@litton.derbyshire.sch.uk or the school office on 01298 871449. There is also a website contact form. These give families a choice between a written enquiry and a telephone conversation.
School tours can be arranged through the office by email or phone, with a date and time agreed with parents. When booking, ask whether the tour can include Litton Explorers and its outdoor grounds.
For parents using assistive technology, the website supports changes to text size, colours and contrast through browser or device settings. Its accessibility statement also identifies barriers affecting older PDF documents. Accessibility enquiries use the same general school email and telephone contacts.
