Nursery at Ashmount 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Early phonics is the clearest feature of Ashmount’s early-years provision: children begin learning sounds at this stage. That gives early reading a place in the learning day.
Ashmount School has nursery provision within a state school on Thorpe Hill in Loughborough. The nursery is part of the school, so families are considering school-attached provision rather than a separately identified childcare setting.
At the inspection on 17 and 18 May 2023, children started phonics in the early years. For parents, the practical distinction is that work on sounds begins during this initial stage of education.
Attending Ashmount’s nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Nursery attendance and admission to Reception are separate matters: families must apply again through the normal admission process by the applicable deadline. Choosing the nursery should therefore be a decision about the nursery provision itself, rather than an assumption that a later school place is secured.
