Nursery at Greenleas 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Five mornings, five afternoons or a longer day: Greenleas builds its nursery timetable around the primary school day, a useful practical detail for families with older siblings. Its nursery takes children from two until they move to primary school, with funded and paid routes depending on age and eligibility. The provision sits at Greenleas Primary School on Green Lane in Wallasey.
September 2024 marked the expansion into this early years provision. That timing matters: Ofsted's June 2023 judgement of Outstanding for early years predates the nursery expansion and should not be read as a separate inspection of today's nursery.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers children's learning, development and welfare. In parent language, its learning areas bring together talking, movement and relationships with early reading, number, creativity and understanding the world. These are the framework's expectations, rather than a list of particular Greenleas activities.
Communication and learning alongside other children feature in the school's earlier early years findings. In June 2023, children developed their vocabulary, communicated with others and learned to cooperate in play. They also sustained attention and responded to adult guidance. Those findings describe the school's early years at that time, before the nursery expansion.
Settling starts after a family accepts a place. The induction programme gathers information about children's interests, their experience with other people and their individual requirements. This gives parents a clear opportunity to explain what their child needs before the nursery routine begins.
Water, fruit and milk are provided during the day. For 2025/26, children staying for lunch needed a packed lunch because school dinners could not be provided. Treat that as a dated meal arrangement when planning attendance.
For concerns about special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), the school's first contact is the child's teacher, with further observation or assessment and discussion with the SENCo possible. Greenleas also hosts Wirral's Deaf Resource Base. Its Base classroom provides additional support where appropriate, including speech therapy and sign language teaching; this is school provision, rather than a promise of a particular nursery support package.
A nursery place does not guarantee admission to Greenleas Reception. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal school admissions route.
The school's September 2026 Reception cycle used Wirral's online admissions service, with a deadline of 15 January 2026. That deadline has passed. Nursery induction prepares children to start nursery; it should not be confused with securing their later school place.
The 15-hour pattern runs across five weekdays: mornings are 8:45am to 11:45am, while afternoons run from 12:15pm to 3:15pm. Eligible children using 30 funded hours attend from 8:45am to 2:45pm. Staying until 3:15pm attracts an additional charge. Extra sessions depend on space and can use eligible funding or be paid for; ask the school for current charges.
For three-year-olds, universal funding begins in the term following their third birthday. Some two-year-olds qualify for funded places from the following term. Extended funding requires an eligibility code, renewed every three months and obtained ahead of the start date.
During term time, Breakfast Club runs from 7:30am to 8:45am, and After School Club from 3:15pm to 5:45pm. Both require separate booking and sit outside the 30-hour offer. Contact the school office on 0151 639 1225 for the online nursery application. Session preferences are considered subject to available places.
Greenleas accepts children from age two. Paid places can begin after the second birthday; eligible funding begins in the following term.
The 15-hour options are five mornings, 8:45am to 11:45am, or five afternoons, 12:15pm to 3:15pm. Eligible 30-hour attendance runs from 8:45am to 2:45pm, with a charged extension to 3:15pm.
After a place is accepted, the induction programme explores children's interests, previous experiences with others and individual requirements with their family.
No. Breakfast Club and After School Club operate during term time, must be booked separately through the school and are outside the 30-hour childcare offer.
No. A separate Reception application is required through the normal school admissions process. The nursery admissions policy explicitly warns that a nursery place does not automatically qualify a child for a primary school place.
