Nursery at Hady 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A start at three brings children into Hady Primary School’s own nursery in Chesterfield. This is provision within a primary school, on Hady Lane, rather than a separate childcare setting. Hady aims to help children become independent learners who can try things, make mistakes and learn from them. That gives families a clear sense of the school’s intended character from the beginning.
Eating and play have distinct places in the early years routine. Children in the early years foundation stage eat alongside the timetable for key stage 1, with lunchtime play at 12:15pm. This separates the meal from the following opportunity to play.
Visual timetables are used throughout Hady’s classrooms. For a young child, seeing the sequence of activities can help make the day easier to understand.
Support at Hady is organised around a child’s needs, with changes to teaching or the curriculum made regardless of whether a diagnosis has been obtained. For nursery families, that is a useful principle: a concern about learning or development can be discussed with the class teacher rather than waiting for a diagnostic label.
Across the school, support covers difficulties with communication, learning, emotional wellbeing and physical or sensory needs. Class teachers prepare support plans for most children on the SEND register, setting individual targets and reviewing them with parents three times a year. More complex needs may involve a My Plan, which brings together a fuller account of the child’s needs when several professionals are involved. These plans also have three parental reviews a year.
Practical resources include ear defenders, talking tins and visual overlays. Two accessible toilets serve the school, one near the main office and another in the new classroom block. These are school facilities and resources; their relevance depends on the individual child. Parents can arrange conversations with class teachers before or after school, giving them a route to raise concerns and discuss progress.
Attending Hady’s nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the applicable deadline. The local authority handles admission to Hady Primary School. Treat choosing nursery and applying for Reception as separate decisions.
For nursery enquiries, contact the school office on 01246 279254 or email office@hadyprimary.chorustrust.org. The school’s address is Hady Lane, Chesterfield, S41 0DF.
The 2026–27 school calendar gives families useful dates for planning around holidays. Autumn half-term runs from Monday 26 October to Friday 30 October 2026; the Christmas holiday runs from Monday 21 December 2026 to Friday 1 January 2027. These are school calendar dates. Keep them alongside your childcare arrangements when planning family commitments.
