Nursery at Newton Regis CofE 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.

Outdoor exploration gives the early years at Newton Regis a clear thread: children investigate their surroundings through learning and play, while staff build activities around their interests. In March 2025, children were developing concentration and self-control alongside that curiosity. These are useful foundations for taking part in group learning as well as pursuing an idea independently.
The nursery belongs to Newton Regis CofE Primary School in the rural village of Newton Regis, on the outskirts of Tamworth. Its school context brings a Christian ethos and an emphasis on belonging. The school welcomes children of other faiths, too, and aims for children to feel valued and develop confidence in themselves.
Children’s interests help shape the activities staff plan. In March 2025, staff knew the early-years children well and used that understanding in their planning. This gives the learning a personal starting point: what catches a child’s attention can become a route into exploring something further.
The outdoor environment is a concrete part of that learning. Children explore it during play and learning activities, developing their understanding of the surrounding world. The emphasis is on curiosity and investigation, with the surroundings themselves providing something to explore rather than outdoor time serving only as a break.
Concentration matters alongside exploration. Early-years children were able to focus on activities and were developing control over their behaviour in March 2025. For parents, the combination is significant: the day supports both following an interest and staying engaged with an activity.
Knowing the children is central to the early-years practice described in March 2025. Staff used their understanding of individual interests to plan activities, linking the learning to the children taking part.
The wider school aims to help children feel secure and take responsibility. Its Christian values include respect, kindness and forgiveness. These describe the school’s intended approach to relationships; for a nursery family, they give a sense of the expectations surrounding children’s first experiences of school life.
Attending this nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the applicable deadline. Choosing the nursery and applying for Reception are separate decisions, even though the provision belongs to the same school.
That distinction matters when planning ahead: a child’s nursery attendance should not be treated as confirmation of where they will start Reception.
The school is on Austrey Lane in Newton Regis, Tamworth, B79 0NL. For families considering the nursery, that is the practical location to use when assessing the journey from home. The school welcomes children from Tamworth and nearby villages, so the setting serves a wider area than Newton Regis itself.
