Nursery at Snitterfield 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Weekly outdoor learning gives Snitterfield’s nursery a concrete point of character: a member of the team leads these sessions and also brings experience as a volunteer Scouts Forest School Leader. The nursery belongs to Snitterfield Primary School, a small village school in Snitterfield. Provision includes children aged two, three and four, with both privately paid hours and government funding, subject to eligibility.
Three-hour sessions give the day its basic shape. Mornings run from 09:00 to 12:00, while afternoons run from 12:00 to 15:00. A child attending a morning session can also stay for Lunch Club until 13:00, making lunch an additional booking option rather than requiring an afternoon session.
Outdoor learning takes place weekly, led by a team member with Forest School experience. Cooking, gardening and messy play also feature in the nursery experience, alongside craft supplies and materials for festivals and celebrations. These give children practical things to make and explore.
The team includes staff with Level 3 qualifications in children’s care and early years education. There is also a qualified Early Years Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator, giving families a nursery role specifically concerned with additional needs. Another team member brings experience of supporting children individually at the primary school.
In May 2024, support involving outside agencies was working successfully from the early years, helping children tackle barriers to learning. There was a communication concern, too: some parents of children with SEND felt unclear about the support provided and how to obtain extra help. Families considering additional support should discuss how decisions and next steps will be explained to them. The school’s SENCO can be contacted through the school office.
Snacks form part of the morning provision. Requests for contributions towards snacks and additional consumables are voluntary, so families can decline those payments.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through the normal local authority process and meet the applicable deadline. Warwickshire coordinates the school’s Reception admissions, with an online application route for Warwickshire residents. Treat choosing nursery sessions and applying for school as two separate decisions.
Early Drop-Off runs from 08:30 to 09:00; Late Pick-Up covers 15:00 to 15:30. Those half-hour options extend the session boundaries for families managing work or other commitments. Lunch Club, from 12:00 to 13:00, carries a charge for morning-session children who stay for lunch.
Funding is structured around term-time hours. Three- and four-year-olds have the universal entitlement of 15 hours weekly; eligible disadvantaged two-year-olds can receive 15 hours, while eligible working parents of two-, three- and four-year-olds can access 30 hours. Hours beyond government funding are charged, with invoices issued half termly. Ask the school for current charges.
A registration deposit is required. For families using free childcare entitlements, it is refunded after the child completes their first nursery week. Optional contribution requests are also sent half termly. The nursery administrator can help with funding applications at SnitterfieldNursery@welearn365.com.
