Nursery at Blueberry Park
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Play dough lollipops, scissors and a home corner give Blueberry Park’s early years provision its character: familiar play activities have specific developmental purposes. The nursery caters for three-year-olds within Blueberry Park Primary School in Liverpool. Its provision is matched to children’s stage of development, with language woven through songs, stories and rhymes.
In March 2026, Ofsted judged early years to be at the Expected standard. That judgement covers the school’s early years provision, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Small physical tasks carry real learning here. Making lollipops with play dough helps address identified weaknesses in physical development; using scissors develops grip and coordination between hands and eyes. These are purposeful activities selected around children’s needs. Play has a clear job to do.
The home corner gives children a space for pretend play, conversation and sharing. Adults’ interactions help turn those experiences into learning: children explore ideas, use language and practise playing together. In March 2026, children across early years generally paid attention and participated in their learning.
Songs, rhymes and stories give three-year-olds repeated contact with vocabulary. The emphasis is on hearing and using language through familiar activities. Alongside this, the early years curriculum builds learning in a planned sequence and includes the required areas of development.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the statutory framework for learning and care for children aged 0 to 5. It brings together communication, physical skills and social development with early literacy, mathematics, creative activity and learning about the world. Here, the physical tasks and imaginative play provide concrete examples of how those strands connect in a child’s day.
Settling begins with understanding the child. In March 2026, effective work with parents helped staff establish children’s starting points and supported their introduction to early years. An annual EYFS welcome meeting also brings new families together with the early years team. Parents have an opportunity to begin that relationship before routines become familiar.
Support is shaped around academic, social and physical difficulties. Activities and teaching are adapted to help children take part, rather than expecting every child to approach a task in the same way.
For special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), the school’s SENCO oversees provision including nursery. Parents begin by discussing concerns with the class teacher. Support follows the Graduated Approach: staff assess needs, plan action, deliver it and review progress with families. Necessary support can begin before a diagnosis. Reviews take place termly, or sooner where needed, allowing plans to change as the child develops.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process by the normal deadline. Treat choosing the nursery and applying for school as separate decisions.
For children with SEND, the SENCO’s responsibilities include liaising with future education providers and planning transition with families. That support concerns continuity of care and learning; it does not secure admission.
The school is on Ackers Hall Avenue, Liverpool, L14 2DY, and can be contacted on 01512332480. For SEND discussions, appointments through the school office can take place face to face, by telephone or through Teams, giving parents different ways to discuss their child’s needs.
The nursery provides for three-year-olds within Blueberry Park Primary School.
Three-year-olds hear songs, rhymes and stories. Across the school’s early years provision, children also make lollipops with play dough, practise using scissors and play imaginatively in the home corner.
In March 2026, early years was judged to be at the Expected standard. This covers early years within the school, rather than a separate nursery inspection.
