Nursery at Allesley 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 nursery class within a primary school, with school-run care on either side of the day: that is the practical shape of Allesley’s provision. The nursery caters for children aged three at the school’s Antrim Close site in Allesley, Coventry. Allesley Bluebirds provides before-school and after-school care for ages three to eleven, giving families an additional childcare option alongside the nursery.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum includes nursery personal, social and health education. This gives relationships and children’s personal development a place in the learning programme alongside the school’s approach to early reading.
Within the Foundation Stage, reading resources include Oxford Reading Tree books, with fiction, factual texts and phonics material. The school’s named reading approach is Floppy’s Phonics, which teaches reading through sounds. These are useful points of continuity within the early years, rather than a reason to expect the nursery day to resemble lessons for older children.
Additional support sits within the school’s SEND framework. Teachers involve the special educational needs coordinator when concerns arise, and meet parents to agree support for both school and home. Reviews take place at least once each term. For families, that creates a recurring opportunity to discuss progress and agree the next steps.
Practical help can include adapted learning materials, work in small groups and individual sessions, according to a child’s needs. Teachers or trained teaching assistants may lead these activities. The school also works with Speech and Language Therapy and the Educational Psychology Service, bringing specialist advice into support planning where appropriate.
Emotional support includes a learning mentor, whose work covers difficulties such as bereavement, family separation and friendships. This is a school-wide support structure, rather than a separate assessment of nursery care.
School meals are offered to nursery children and carry a charge. Payments use My Child at School. Families should consult the school for current charges; menu allergen charts help parents consider dietary requirements.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal local-authority process and meet its deadline. Allesley adopts Coventry City Council’s primary admissions policy, so choosing the nursery and applying for Reception are distinct decisions.
For children with SEND moving between classes, information reaches the next teacher ahead of the change, usually with a planning meeting. These arrangements concern preparation and support; they do not secure admission.
Uniform is optional in the nursery, although most children choose to wear it. The school colours include royal blue sweatshirts or cardigans with white shirts or polo shirts. The PTA sells nearly new uniform, with request forms obtained through the office. Clothing should carry the child’s name and class to help identify lost items.
Contact the school office on 02476 402611 or use its online contact form for nursery enquiries. The school also provides a 360° tour covering its indoor and outdoor areas. Allesley Bluebirds is the named option for care before and after school.
