Nursery at Yeadon 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A playdough bakery, a mud kitchen and a home corner turned into a doctor's surgery give this nursery its character: children use familiar stories to talk, count, experiment and pretend. This is the school's teacher-led Foundation Stage 1 provision, welcoming children from age three at Westfield Grove in Yeadon.
Ofsted graded the school's early years provision Good at the inspection on 3 and 4 December 2024. That judgement covers early years within the school, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Nursery rhymes become practical activities. During spring 2026, 5 Currant Buns inspired shop play and a playdough bakery; London Bridge is Falling Down prompted children to construct towers and bridges, then knock them down. These give counting and conversation a purpose children can understand.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) combines care with learning. Here, Development Matters guides the curriculum, with attention to movement, relationships and communication alongside number, literacy, creativity and understanding the world. Play carries much of that work. In February 2026, children used tweezers to sort pom poms and practised handling scissors, building the hand control needed for later writing.
Listening activities include rhyming bingo, counting syllables and joining spoken sounds into words. Maths involves counting objects individually and recognising numerals around the classroom. Drawing Club also featured in the May 2025 nursery programme, using a twist on The Gingerbread Man to prompt imaginative pencil work.
Outside, the mud kitchen supports pretend cooking and exploration. An all-weather outdoor area allows rain play, while the sensory room has provided space for balancing, climbing and rolling. Science Week in March 2026 brought experiments with magnets, floating objects and eggshells supporting books: children could test their predictions rather than simply hear an answer.
Learning focus. The December 2024 early years findings identified activities whose intended learning was insufficiently clear. Independence and language development were strengths, but families should weigh those alongside the need for more purposeful activities.
Relationships with adults were a strength in the December 2024 early years findings, and established routines helped children understand expectations. The February 2026 nursery update described new children joining the group and beginning friendships. Familiar people and routines matter alongside the learning activities.
Lunch gives the day another fixed point: nursery children eat at noon. The nursery page also provides potty and toilet-training information for families.
For additional needs, the school's SEND arrangements include individual targets, regular reviews and meetings with parents. Speech and language groups, nurture groups and individual support give several ways to address communication or emotional needs. The Inclusion Leader can involve the Early Years Team, Speech and Language Therapists and the STARS autism specialists. Families can begin a discussion with their child's teacher and remain involved as plans are reviewed.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the deadline for their child's intake. The school's September 2025 guidance directed parents to their home local authority, with Leeds residents using www.leeds.gov.uk/apply.
Transition support is a separate matter. The school's SEND arrangements provide for family involvement in decisions and planned social and emotional support when children move to their next stage. That support does not secure admission.
The nursery offers 15-hour places, with paid additional sessions. Families eligible for 30 funded hours per week must provide a government eligibility code. Contact the school for current charges.
