Nursery at Seven Stars 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Rhymes, stories and growing independence featured in nursery learning at the July 2022 inspection. This is Seven Stars Primary School’s nursery in Leyland, accepting children in the term they turn three, with both part-time and full-time attendance. It provides an early introduction to school life, with language and practical skills among the learning priorities.
September 2025 brought a new building for the school and nursery. That change matters when weighing the inspection evidence: Ofsted graded the school’s early years provision Good following its July 2022 inspection, before the move. The judgement covers early years within the school, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Language develops through activities young children can join in with. In July 2022, nursery teaching used stories and rhymes to help children understand words and say them clearly. Familiar language activities therefore had a specific learning purpose, rather than simply filling the session.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) includes practical development as well as language. In July 2022, children across the nursery and Reception classes were developing independence in dressing and greater confidence with throwing and rolling balls. For parents, these are concrete examples of learning that supports everyday tasks and physical coordination.
Creative work starts in EYFS too. Children explore materials and learn techniques for using them, with colour, pattern and texture providing ways to express ideas. The school aims to combine experimentation with taught skills, giving children ways to develop what they make.
Curriculum planning. In July 2022, some subject sequences needed clearer decisions about knowledge beginning in early years. Checks on teaching also needed attention in a few subjects across the school. These concerns qualify the positive early years judgement and give families useful curriculum questions to raise during a visit.
The nursery teacher also holds the EYFS leadership role, linking classroom teaching with responsibility for the early years phase. Beyond the class team, a Family Support Manager and an inclusion mentor provide routes for help with family circumstances and children’s well-being.
Support for special educational needs and disabilities includes involving parents in decisions and reviewing progress. In July 2022, staff recognised children’s needs effectively and adjusted activities so children with SEND could participate in the curriculum alongside their peers. This makes inclusion a question of access to learning as well as identifying a need.
Class Dojo provides a route to contact the class teacher about learning, medical needs or general well-being. Nursery lunchtime begins at noon, giving children staying for lunch a defined break in their day.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate primary application, including when the nursery belongs to their preferred school. Lancashire residents apply online through Lancashire County Council.
Transition support is separate from allocation. After a school place is accepted, families are invited to a meeting and children can attend pre-school sessions. Parents may accompany the early visits, with later sessions attended independently. This provides a gradual introduction to the next classroom; it does not secure admission.
For nursery enquiries, call the school office on 01772 422503. Families can also arrange an individual school tour by telephone or email office@seven-stars.lancs.sch.uk, allowing time to discuss their child’s interests and needs with staff.
