Wigmore Primary School Nursery

Listening, language and early number give Wigmore Nursery its clearest educational character. This is the nursery provision at Wigmore Primary School in Wigmore, serving children aged 3-5. Its address is Ford Street, Wigmore, Leominster, HR6 9UN.

Wigmore’s shared mission is enjoying learning together, and its principal aim is for children to be happy, healthy and successful. For families, that sets the nursery choice in a broader context: children’s experience matters alongside what they learn.

In March 2025, nursery teaching focused on helping children pay attention when listening and build their use of language. Staff taught children to explore language as well as use it. For parents, the practical emphasis is communication: learning to listen and developing ways to express themselves.

Early number also received close attention across the early years. Alongside language, this gives the learning a foundation in communication and number rather than simply preparation for formal lessons.

The distinction between listening, exploring language and using it matters. Children are learning both to take in what others say and to express something themselves. These are everyday skills. When discussing a place, ask how staff put that emphasis into practice during a session and how they share examples of a child’s developing communication.

Adult input includes direct teaching of listening and language. That gives children support with skills they use to understand other people and communicate their own ideas.

Use an enquiry to discuss your child’s communication, including how they express needs and respond to other people. Ask how the team would support them during settling-in and how you would exchange updates. That conversation can connect the nursery’s language emphasis with the care your particular child needs.

Attending Wigmore Nursery does not guarantee a place in Wigmore Primary School’s Reception. Nursery admission and Reception admission are separate processes: families must apply again through the normal Reception route by the applicable deadline. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as two decisions.

Keep the Reception application on your family’s planning list even after accepting a nursery place. Before making that application, check the relevant admission arrangements, route and deadline. Familiarity with the nursery does not replace this step.

The nursery telephone number is 01568 770333. This provides a direct contact route for a nursery enquiry.

Before agreeing an attendance pattern, discuss the hours you need, funded entitlement and current charges with the school. Ask how meals, collection and any uniform requirements would work for your child. Use those answers to judge whether the arrangement fits your working day and family routines.
