Nursery at Warstones 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A large sandpit, mud kitchen and space for children’s own ideas give Warstones’ nursery its character. This is nursery provision within Warstones Primary School in Penn, Wolverhampton, alongside the Teeny Weenies playgroup. The wider early years provision supports children aged 2 to 5; Teeny Weenies accepts children aged two to three.
Morning, afternoon and full-day nursery options give families different ways to arrange attendance. The learning environment combines open indoor classrooms with outdoor areas for creative work, early maths, reading and writing. Play has a clear place here.
Each nursery session starts with whole-group learning focused on a literacy or maths topic. Children then learn through a combination of play, activities led by adults in small groups and time together as a larger group. Early language is an explicit focus, alongside learning about the world, developing hand control and practising self-care.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) connects these experiences: communication, movement and relationships sit alongside early reading, maths, creative expression and understanding the world. Topics begin with key texts. Children have opportunities to investigate, try ideas, keep going when something proves difficult and find their own ways to solve problems. That gives play a purpose beyond keeping children occupied.
Outdoors, the early years play area includes water play, bikes and scooters as well as the sandpit and mud kitchen. These provide practical opportunities to develop balance and larger movements. Indoors, children can initiate their own learning and work together. Nursery PE takes place on Mondays, when children need suitable clothing; reading books are changed that day too, linking the session’s routines with reading at home.
The first half term centres on building relationships, discovering children’s interests and helping them understand routines and expectations. Settling therefore includes getting to know both the adults and the pattern of nursery life. A nursery teaching and support team sits within a wider staffing structure that includes an Early Years Leader.
For children with SEND, the school develops individual learning plans with parents and professionals. Support can address communication, physical development, social skills and emotional needs, with families involved in reviewing it. Parents can contact the SENDCO through the school office. This gives families a clear route into discussions about their child’s support.
Teeny Weenies provides wraparound care with Nursery, and children attending the playgroup bring packed lunches. The early years family support offer also includes potty-training and healthy-lunchbox guidance, connecting everyday care with home routines.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place and gives no priority for September 2027 entry. Families must make a separate application. Wolverhampton residents apply through the City of Wolverhampton Council’s online admissions service; families living elsewhere apply through their own local authority.
For September 2027 entry, the deadline is 15 January 2027. Children with an EHCP follow a separate process through statutory assessment or annual review and should discuss school choice with their SEND Coordinator. Familiarity with nursery routines should therefore be kept separate from the application decision.
Nursery morning sessions run from 8:30 to 11:30, while afternoons run from 12:30 to 15:30. The all-day option runs from 8:30 to 15:30, with half-day and all-day combinations offered. This lets families compare the attendance pattern with their collection arrangements.
Enquiries go to the school office on 01902 558787 or warstonesprimaryschool@wolverhampton.gov.uk. The school is on Warstones Road, Penn, Wolverhampton, WV4 4LU. Teeny Weenies also offers full-day care and nursery wraparound provision, extending the choices within the school’s early years offer.
Morning sessions are 8:30 to 11:30 and afternoon sessions are 12:30 to 15:30. An all-day option runs from 8:30 to 15:30.
Sessions start with group learning around literacy or maths, alongside play, small-group activities led by adults and opportunities to develop language, movement, creativity and self-care.
During the first half term, staff build relationships, learn about children’s interests and help them become familiar with nursery routines and expectations.
