Nursery at Morgans Primary School & Nursery
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Wellies, climbing branches and books to share at home give Morgans’ nursery its character: learning through play, with small steps towards independence built into the day. This is the nursery within Morgans Primary School & Nursery on Morgans Road in Hertford, with opportunities to use school spaces beyond its own classroom.
Ofsted judged the school’s early years provision Good at the inspection on 13 and 14 December 2023. That judgement covers early years within the school.
Children choose resources indoors and outdoors in all weather, while adults plan activities around their interests and experiences. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) takes practical form here: learning to communicate, get along with others and control movement sits alongside early literacy, maths, creative work and discovering how the world works. The nursery introduces the school’s 7 Learning Powers as habits for learning.
Independence starts with everyday jobs. Children place their names on the Registration Board, organise their belongings and practise changing into wellies and putting on coats. These routines give them things to manage for themselves. As the year progresses and children are ready, small-group tasks led by adults bring practice in listening and following instructions.
Language develops through songs, pretend play, stories and Family books, with interactive games and smart board activities adding other ways to join in. Sharing Packs take a book home for children and parents to enjoy together. In December 2023, the early years activities supported children’s spoken expression and language development, and nursery phonics introduced recognising and remembering letter sounds.
Movement matters too. Hanging and climbing on branches and bars develop strength, while finger activities and making marks prepare children for writing. Maths uses White Rose small steps within the EYFS, with play and investigation providing opportunities to explore. The library, Treehouse, Running Track and hall for PE broaden the places where nursery children learn.
Autumn brings a focus on settling, relationships and emotions. The nursery aims to help children feel secure enough to separate from their families, then practise sharing equipment, taking turns and working alongside friends. Parents are encouraged to share the interests that motivate their child at home, giving adults useful starting points for activities.
A piece of fruit or vegetable is provided for nursery snack each day. Children need a bottle of water, and the school requires food brought from home to exclude nuts. These are useful daily packing rules for families.
For concerns about special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the first contact is the class teacher through the school office. The SENCo can also be reached at senco@morgans.herts.sch.uk. The school describes adapting teaching and support to individual needs; its communication with families includes parent consultations, individual meetings and a monthly parent network. These give parents routes to discuss support beyond an initial concern.
Joining in Sports Day, Morgans Mile and the Christmas performance helps nursery children become familiar with the wider school. These shared experiences support transition, but admission remains a separate matter.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must apply separately through Hertfordshire’s normal school admissions route by the applicable deadline; school places are allocated by the local authority. Treat the Reception application as a distinct step, even when your child already attends nursery.
The Dell Out of School Club operates on site and accepts children aged 3 to 11. It provides breakfast and after-school care every day in term time, plus holiday clubs. This gives families an additional childcare option alongside nursery attendance.
For enquiries, contact the school office on 01992 582162 or admin@morgans.herts.sch.uk. Visits can be arranged by phoning the office for an appointment.
Parking. Parking within the grounds is restricted to people with a disability who hold a blue badge. Families using the disabled bay should notify the school, and other drivers need to plan for parking in the surrounding residential area.
Through play indoors and outdoors, with activities shaped by their interests. Stories, songs, imaginative play, movement and small-group tasks support the EYFS curriculum.
