Nursery at Stoneydelph 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Letters and sounds begin in Nursery here, giving The Learning Tree Nursery a clear early reading focus within Stoneydelph Primary School. The provision includes a nursery for two-year-olds. It sits at the school on Crowden Road in Wilnecote, Tamworth.
Ofsted judged the school's early years provision Good at the inspection on 15 to 16 November 2023. That judgement covers early years within the school, rather than a separate nursery inspection.
Early reading starts with introducing children to letters and sounds when they join Nursery. In November 2023, this learning formed the beginning of a sequence that built children's knowledge as they moved through the school. For parents, the useful distinction is that those first encounters start during nursery attendance.
Sparkle and Shine brings religious festivals into early years learning. This gives children another subject to explore alongside their introduction to letters and sounds, broadening the content beyond early reading.
A nursery manager and playworkers make up the nursery team. An Early Years Designated Safeguarding Leader also forms part of the school's leadership structure, providing a specific safeguarding role for this age group.
Before a child starts, families can meet the school to discuss disabilities, special educational needs or other arrangements their child may need. This creates an opportunity to plan support around the child before the start, rather than leaving concerns until attendance begins.
The school's support arrangements include a Support Plan developed with the class teacher for children identified with additional educational needs. Medical needs are addressed through a Care Plan and Pupil Profile. Parents receive these plans, and staff working with the child can access them, giving the adults involved a shared account of the support required.
Review is part of that process. Teachers and the SEND coordinator use an assess, plan, do, review cycle, with assessments revisited each term. Possible adaptations include visual timetables, extra processing time and introducing key vocabulary ahead of learning. These are school support arrangements, with individual adjustments determined by need.
A separate application. Attending The Learning Tree Nursery does not guarantee a Reception place at Stoneydelph. Families must apply again through the normal Reception admissions process and meet the applicable deadline.
For the application route, use Staffordshire School Admissions and select Primary admissions. Nursery attendance and the Reception application should be treated as separate decisions when planning your child's next step. The school office can help families who need assistance accessing the application route.
Contact the school office on 01827 896666 or email office@stoneydelph.staffs.sch.uk for enquiries. Families considering a school place can telephone to arrange a visit, offering a chance to discuss their child and the start they need.
Registering your interest with the school brings a reminder when the admissions application portal opens. It does not secure a place. That distinction matters when organising applications: an expression of interest is a reminder arrangement, rather than an allocation.

Contact the school to arrange a discussion about your child's needs and any special arrangements required for starting.
