Nursery at Broadheath 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. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
An outdoor area and children’s toilets close to the pre-school space give Broadheath’s youngest children a practical base within the school. The provision includes two-year-olds and occupies its own area of Broadheath CofE Primary School in Lower Broadheath. This is a school nursery, with everyday care and learning taking place on the school site.
Children’s interests help shape the curriculum alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The school aims to connect learning with real experiences where possible, and plans opportunities to return to earlier learning. For a young child, that means interests can provide a starting point while familiar ideas are revisited rather than simply replaced by the next topic.
Number learning reaches beyond counting aloud. In December 2024, children in the early years were recognising number patterns and identifying how many objects they could see without counting them individually. They used that understanding at learning stations inside and outdoors. These are practical encounters with mathematics: recognising an amount, spotting a pattern and using an idea during exploration.
The pre-school’s position gives children access to an outdoor area as well as nearby toilets. That layout connects the learning space with everyday care needs, a useful consideration for families choosing provision for a very young child.
For children with identified special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), starting arrangements can be adjusted to their needs. A visit with parents provides an opportunity to meet staff; where other professionals are involved, a Team Around the Child meeting brings together information and strategies before the child starts. A home visit or a visit to an existing setting may also be arranged. These are conditional arrangements for children needing support, rather than a universal settling programme.
For children on the school SEND register, parents take part in reviewing support and agreeing targets through an Individual Pupil Passport. The school’s SENDCo can be contacted through the office, giving families a clear route to discuss concerns.
Black Pepper supplies the school’s meal service. Its menu follows a three-week rotation, with three main dishes and three dessert choices each day. Online orders can be made for individual days, weeks or terms, with the next day’s order due before midnight. Check with the school whether pre-school children can use this service before arranging meals.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. It also confers no priority for the 2027–2028 intake: allocation depends on the separate admission criteria. Families must apply again through the normal Reception process.
The application route is Worcestershire County Council’s school admissions service. For the 2026–2027 intake, the deadline was 15 January 2026; that date has passed.
For children with SEND, support when changing classes can include classroom visits and photo books showing the new teacher and room. Information and pupil passports are shared with the next teacher. Familiarisation supports the change of classroom; it does not change admission entitlement.
The school office handles enquiries on 01905 640285, and families can also use the contact form. The pre-school is on Sailor’s Bank, Lower Broadheath, Worcester, WR2 6QT.

Contact the school office to reach the SENDCo. For children on the school SEND register, parents are involved in reviewing support and agreeing Individual Pupil Passport targets.
