Nursery at Cedar Park 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Indoor and outdoor learning space gives Cedar Park’s early years provision two settings for children’s activities. The nursery belongs to Cedar Park School & Nursery on Cedar Avenue in Hazlemere, High Wycombe, and caters for three- and four-year-olds. It is a school nursery, with early learning taking place within the wider primary setting.
Be Kind. Be Inspired. Believe. is the school’s guiding message. For parents considering this nursery, that expresses the school’s intended balance of relationships, curiosity and confidence.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides the starting point for learning. Cedar Park describes these years as laying foundations for later subject teaching: the emphasis is on building skills and understanding that children can use as their education progresses.
LEARN names the school’s curriculum approach. Its ambitions include making learning accessible, responding to children’s needs and helping knowledge last. The school says it adapts teaching to help children meet learning objectives and uses assessment to shape subsequent planning. These are school-wide intentions, rather than a separate nursery teaching method.
Singing supplies a concrete example of early years learning. In November 2024, children developed language successfully through activities including joining in with One Finger, One Thumb. A familiar song becomes an opportunity to practise communication together. Learning space extends outdoors as well as indoors, giving the early years team both environments to use.
In November 2024, early years staff helped children become comfortable quickly and begin learning positively. That is a useful finding for families facing their child’s first experience of a school setting: support with settling was part of the early years practice.
For additional needs, the school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is contactable through the office. Cedar Park describes an inclusive approach intended to enable children to participate in learning and school life. This gives parents a clear contact for discussing their child’s needs.
Safeguarding responsibilities sit with the headteacher, supported by deputy leads drawn from the assistant headteacher, SENDCo and office manager roles. Where welfare concerns arise, the school normally discusses them with parents before involving other agencies, unless doing so could work against the child’s welfare.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the applicable deadline. Buckinghamshire Council admissions is the school’s signposted route for school entry. Treat the nursery decision and the Reception application as separate tasks.
Thirty-hour nursery places are offered. The school office handles enquiries about how these places work and requests to join the nursery admissions interest list. An interest-list request is a practical first step, rather than confirmation of a place.
