Nursery at Oasis Academy Henderson Avenue
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Seventy-eight nursery places give Oasis Academy Henderson Avenue a substantial early years presence in Scunthorpe. This is the academy’s own nursery, forming part of the school on Henderson Avenue. For families choosing school-based provision, that connection is a defining practical feature, but nursery membership and admission to Reception remain separate decisions.
Learning that responds to children’s next steps is the clearest feature of the early years provision. At the inspection on 30 April and 1 May 2024, adult questioning helped children take their learning further. Activities focused on each child’s next learning step, with children taking an active part across the curriculum.
The parent implication is specific: adult interaction matters alongside the activity itself. The early years findings describe staff building on children’s responses, with learning directed towards the knowledge children would need for their next stage of education. These findings cover early years collectively.
Additional support sits within the academy’s SEND arrangements. Children identified with special educational needs or disabilities receive help targeted to their individual needs. Teachers review progress regularly with children and parents, giving families a role in discussing how support is working. Where needed, the academy can involve services from the local authority and health authority.
Medical routines require preparation from parents. First aid trained staff are available during the school day for illness or accidents. Families provide both a daytime telephone number and another emergency contact, so staff have a second route to reach someone. Medicine administration requires parents to complete a medical plan with the medical officer; medicines are stored with that officer rather than carried by the child.
Safeguarding includes a designated lead and deputy, while staff and volunteers receive training when they start and subsequent annual updates as appropriate. The academy also participates in Operation Encompass. Through this joint arrangement with police, schools receive information before the following school day when a child has experienced domestic abuse. A trained safeguarding adult can then use that confidential information to support the child. For families, this connects an incident outside school with support during the school day.
A nursery place does not guarantee admission to Reception. Families must make a separate application through North Lincolnshire Council using the Common Application Form for the following September. Keep that application as a distinct task: joining the nursery does not replace it.
The decision to attend nursery should therefore rest on the provision itself. Familiarity with the academy and obtaining a Reception place are different matters, and parents should plan for the normal application process by the applicable deadline.
