Nursery at Parkside 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Sounds, letters and dance actions give Parkside’s early years provision a distinctive learning detail: children practise early reading skills through movement. The nursery belongs to Parkside Primary School on Western Road in Goole, placing it within a primary school rather than a separate childcare setting.
Ofsted judged the school’s early years provision Good at the inspection on 10 and 11 June 2025. That judgement covers early years as a whole, rather than giving the nursery a separate rating.
Early learning combines reading practice with learning how to take part in school life. In June 2025, children in early years were making good progress relative to where they began. Their education programme prepared them for the next stage of learning, while dance actions accompanied practice with letters and sounds. Movement gives children a concrete way to rehearse those early reading building blocks.
Behavioural routines are another part of that preparation. Children learn the habits needed for later classroom learning, so the emphasis extends beyond recognising letters to participating in the school day. These are findings about Parkside’s early years provision collectively.
Families have several routes into the school’s support structure. An EYFS phase lead sits alongside an assistant head with responsibility for SEND. Parents can discuss concerns with the SEN coordinator or their child’s class teacher, providing a direct starting point for conversations about additional needs.
Communication follows an open-door approach. The home-school support worker can help families with concerns about behaviour, emotional needs and daily routines; appointments can be arranged through the office or class teacher. For a family managing difficulties at home as well as school, this brings those conversations together.
Health information is gathered before admission, including allergies, dietary needs, emergency contacts and health requirements. Parents must update the school when those details change. Medication requires a form in advance, giving staff the information needed before it is administered.
School meals are cooked on site. Children are encouraged to select their food and eat in company, with the school treating mealtimes as an opportunity for social development. This describes the school’s meal arrangements, rather than establishing which nursery sessions include lunch.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. The two applications follow separate routes: nursery applications go to the school, while families must apply again for Reception through their home local authority by its application deadline.
For residents of East Riding of Yorkshire, that route is East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Families living elsewhere apply through the council where they live. Apply on time. Late applications are considered after timely applications, when places may already have been allocated. Treat the Reception application as a separate task even while your child attends nursery.
Nursery enquiries and applications go directly to the school office. Call 01405 763634 or email parkside.primary@eastriding.gov.uk. School visits can also be arranged by telephone, giving parents an opportunity to discuss their application in person.
For continuing support after joining, the office and class teacher are also the routes to an appointment with the home-school support worker.
No. Families must make a separate Reception application through their home local authority.
Contact the school office directly on 01405 763634 or at parkside.primary@eastriding.gov.uk.
Yes. Call 01405 763634 to arrange a school visit when considering an application.
Early years provision was judged Good at the Ofsted inspection on 10 and 11 June 2025. This is an early years judgement within the school inspection, rather than a separate nursery rating.
Speak to the school’s SEN coordinator or your child’s class teacher. The home-school support worker can also discuss family concerns, emotional needs and routines.
