Nursery at Pleasant Street 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 running stream and fire pit give Pleasant Street’s nursery outdoor learning a distinctive setting. Children are encouraged to explore outside across the day, making this part of their learning rather than simply a break between activities. The nursery belongs to the school’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) unit in Liverpool, alongside Reception.
Provision is for children aged three and four. The admissions page describes capacity as up to 30 full-time children or 60 attending part time, so those figures represent alternative attendance arrangements. In the school inspection of 7 and 8 February 2023, Ofsted graded early years provision Good. This is an early years judgement within the school inspection.
Play, conversation and experimentation shape the EYFS curriculum here. Children investigate ideas, ask questions and revisit experiences, with adults using initial assessments to plan their next learning steps. For parents, that means learning extends beyond early reading and number work: physical development, creativity, relationships and understanding the world also have a place.
Spoken language was a strength in February 2023. Adults used opportunities in the nursery to extend children’s speech, while stories and rhymes introduced different cultures. Supportive exchanges with adults helped children develop curiosity and independence. Conversation is part of the teaching.
Blue Chameleon supplied a concrete example in February 2026. Nursery children discussed friendship and similarities between people, considered choosing a different playmate and coloured chameleon pictures. A June 2026 update about the Imagine That! trip described nursery children decorating clay, making bath bombs and experimenting with slime. These examples connect talk, imaginative play and practical investigation.
Friendship also helps children join the group. In May 2026, nursery children discussed ways to welcome a new classmate, used pictures to explain kindness and decorated figures for the classroom window. That gives children visible reminders of how to include someone new.
Language support includes WellComm: EYFS staff are trained to use its early years toolkit to identify speech and language needs. The school’s SEND approach follows a cycle of assessment, planning, action and review, with parents involved in agreeing support. At least one learning support assistant is attached to each class. Ramps, an internal lift and an accessible toilet are school facilities relevant to families considering physical access.
Specialist language provision. Access to the Speech and Language Resource Base requires placement by the SLCN Panel. Mainstream nursery attendance does not bring access to that base’s specialist staff or support.
Meals are prepared on site. Families choosing packed lunches are asked to keep that arrangement for the half term; food cannot be reheated. Parent meetings provide opportunities to discuss progress, while the Parent App carries school messages.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through Liverpool City Council’s admissions process. Nursery attendance is not a priority criterion in the September 2025 admissions policy.
That policy gives a deadline of 15 January in the year prior to admission. Treat this as the wording of that dated policy when planning an application. Sharing an EYFS unit is a feature of the nursery’s organisation; it does not change the separate allocation of Reception places.
The 2024–25 prospectus describes 15 funded hours arranged across two and a half days, divided into two groups. It also describes full-time attendance and provision for families eligible for the 30-hour scheme. The September 2025 admissions policy makes full-time places conditional on local authority guidelines. Additional attendance and school lunches can carry charges; refer to the school for current charges.
That prospectus gives a nursery start of 08:55, with entry from 08:30, and collection at 15:00. Parents should telephone if delayed and tell staff when another person will collect. Nursery uniform consists of a red polo, navy sweatshirt and navy jogging bottoms.
Applications go directly to the school office or through the online nursery form. The office number is 0151 709 3802. The 2026–27 school calendar includes holidays, with further INSET days still to be added; Parent App notifications help families keep track of changes.
The nursery caters for children aged three and four. Applications are made directly to the school.
The EYFS outdoor area includes a running stream and fire pit. Children are encouraged to explore and learn outside throughout the day.
No. Nursery attendance is not among the priority criteria in the September 2025 policy and does not guarantee a place. A separate application goes through Liverpool City Council.
The 2024–25 prospectus describes 15 hours across two and a half days and provision for families eligible for the 30-hour scheme. Additional attendance and lunches can carry charges.
Only children placed by the SLCN Panel can access the base. Mainstream attendance does not provide access to its specialist support or teaching staff.
