Nursery at Hunloke Park 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 Pre School building gives Hunloke Park's nursery provision a physical identity within the primary school. It also houses the school's Breakfast and Afterschool Clubs, linking the space to the wider school day. The setting is on Lodge Drive in Wingerworth, Chesterfield.
Hunloke Park has nursery provision, and the school's age range begins at three. Its PRIDE values bring together Enjoyment, Inclusion, Respect, Determination and Positivity. The school aims to encourage a love of learning alongside kindness and consideration for others. These are school-wide aims, rather than a judgement of nursery quality. The whole school's Ofsted rating is Requires Improvement; this is not a separate nursery inspection outcome.
Pre-School has its own curriculum planning within Hunloke Park. Rotation 2 includes a long-term plan and overviews for the first and second autumn half terms and the first spring half term. That gives the provision a planning structure distinct from the older classes.
Multiple Intelligences is also a named part of the Pre-School planning in Rotation 1, with grids organised across autumn, spring and summer. These sit alongside term overviews, bringing more than one planning format to the nursery curriculum.
Computing provision begins in Early Years. It covers information technology, digital literacy and computer science, with learning designed to build on earlier knowledge. The school aims to develop responsible technology use alongside creativity. For families, that places early encounters with technology within an educational purpose.
Support conversations start with the child's class teacher. Families can also reach the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator through the school office. This gives parents a route from an initial classroom discussion to a conversation about more specialist needs.
An Early Help Manager provides pastoral support for children and their families across the school. This includes help with behaviour at home, individual and group support for pupils, and tailored support for special educational needs. Team Around the Family meetings are voluntary and bring the school, families and other agencies together. The practical benefit is a route to coordinated help when a concern extends beyond the classroom.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route. Derbyshire County Council allocates school places under its admissions arrangements.
Treat that application as a separate step in planning your child's schooling. Choosing the nursery and securing the next school place are distinct decisions; attendance should not be treated as an offer of Reception admission.
General enquiries go to the school office: call 01246 276831 or email admin@hunlokepark.org.uk. The address is Lodge Drive, Wingerworth, Chesterfield, S42 6PT.
School-wide Breakfast and Afterschool Clubs operate in the Pre School building, with qualified staff and indoor and outdoor activities suited to children's ages. Club bookings and payments use ParentPay. Breakfast is served to children arriving before 8.20am, while the after-school light meal is served around 4.45pm. These are club arrangements, rather than nursery session times. For current club charges, contact the school office.
