Nursery at Oldfleet 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Three-hour sessions give Oldfleet’s nursery a clear shape: a morning or afternoon at school for three- and four-year-olds. The provision has 39 places within Oldfleet Primary School on Bradford Avenue in Hull. Children can start in the term following their third birthday.
The important distinction here is between support and learning. In June 2024, Ofsted judged early years provision Requires improvement. Systems for identifying additional needs start in Nursery, but learning activities were not sufficiently tailored to children’s needs. Families should weigh both parts of that picture.
Morning nursery runs from 8.45am to 11.45am; the afternoon runs from 12.15pm to 3.15pm. Each gives children a defined session rather than assuming they attend the whole school day. For parents arranging work or other childcare, those separate start and finish times are the useful planning points.
In June 2024, children’s initial learning levels were assessed promptly, and the early years curriculum had a clear sequence across Nursery and Reception. That provides a planned progression in what children are meant to learn. The weakness was in putting that plan into practice: activities did not fit individual learning needs closely enough, limiting engagement and how much children learned.
Learning activities. The June 2024 improvement requirement was to connect activities more precisely to the intended curriculum. For families, the key question is how a particular task helps their child take the next learning step.
Additional support begins early. In June 2024, clear identification systems operated from Nursery, with regular checks that support addressed children’s needs and corresponded to their individual plan targets. Teaching was adapted successfully for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This gives families a concrete support process to consider alongside the concerns about early years activities.
The headteacher holds both the SEND coordinator and designated safeguarding lead roles. The school also participates in Operation Encompass: police usually share information before the following school day when a child has experienced or witnessed a domestic abuse incident. That information enables staff to respond to the child’s circumstances.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the local authority; choosing a nursery place and applying for school are distinct decisions. Keep that application separate from arrangements for nursery sessions.
The planned learning sequence across Nursery and Reception is an educational connection. It should be considered separately from the allocation of a school place.
Oldfleet offers 15 hours of free nursery provision, plus a number of places offering 30 free hours for eligible families. Eligibility applies to the extended entitlement; those places should not be assumed to come with every nursery booking.
