Nursery at Mountbatten Primary School

Snack-time conversation gives Mountbatten’s nursery a distinctive starting point: staff use an ordinary care routine to help children speak confidently. Language runs through the day. The nursery belongs to Mountbatten Primary School on Wivern Road in Hull, with children eligible to join in the term following their third birthday.
A nursery teacher works alongside teaching assistants and an apprentice teaching assistant. This is provision within the school’s early years, rather than a separate nursery. In June 2026, Ofsted judged early years Needs attention; that judgement covers Nursery and Reception together.
Play is the main vehicle for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). In parent terms, this brings together learning to communicate, move and manage feelings with early reading, number work, creativity and discovering the world. The school aims to build learning around children’s interests, using practical experiences, questions and opportunities to solve problems together.
Books and conversation provide concrete examples of that approach. In June 2026, nursery routines included planned opportunities for speaking and listening, with snack time used to encourage confident speech. Adults also introduced vocabulary through shared books. The Venn Literature Spine includes books for EYFS, giving reading a place within a planned selection of texts.
Established routines helped children become more independent, while the early-years classroom was calm and purposeful. Adults demonstrated new words through their interactions with children. These are useful foundations for joining in and expressing ideas. Learning tasks. The wider early-years judgement also raised concerns about play activities being insufficiently matched to children’s needs. Families should weigh those concerns alongside the nursery’s specific strengths in language development.
Tapestry connects classroom learning with home. Staff record observations there, and parents can follow their child’s progress and contribute experiences from home. That gives families a practical way to share what their child is learning beyond the nursery session.
For children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the school’s support framework covers communication, learning, emotional needs and physical or sensory needs. Parents can contact the office to discuss their child with the special educational needs coordinator. Within early years, children’s starting points inform curriculum adjustments, helping language support respond to the child.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process, coordinated by Hull City Council. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as separate decisions, and submit the latter by the normal deadline.
Nursery mornings run from 8:45am to 11:45am; afternoons run from 12:15pm to 3:30pm. All nursery pupils can attend for 15 hours each week. The different session lengths matter when planning collection and fitting nursery around family routines.
Uniform is optional for nursery children, although preferred. The school colours include royal blue sweatshirts or cardigans with white or pale blue tops. For nursery enquiries, contact the office on 01482 375224 or email mb-admin@vennacademy.org. Parents use on-street parking and are asked to consider local residents.
