Westwood provide our own nursery provision. Our nursery provision is located in the main school building in a bright, large, well-equipped space that is situated next to our Reception class – making the transition process from our nursery to Reception even more integrated and supporting the children to move seamlessly through different phases of education at Westwood.
We welcome visits from prospective families who would like to come and see our fantastic nursery provision!
If you are interested in your child joining the sessions at Westwood Nursery, we operate a limited number of spaces per session, and sessions run from 8:45 am – 11:45 am Monday to Friday and from 12:15 am – 3:15 pm Monday to Thursday. Please contact the school office to see if there are currently spaces available.
Applications should be returned to the school office either by post, person or via email – our details are here. Where we do not have space available, we will keep a waiting list in order of our admission criteria set out in our Westwood Nursery Admissions Policy and will contact parents in order when a space becomes available.
Our nursery pupils are able to develop their early learning goals and participate in a transition designed to enable those entering reception classes to be fully prepared and confident.
We also offer a lunchtime provision for 3 and 4 year olds – strictly the year before they start in a Reception class only – where they engage with the rest of the school during lunch, again making the transition into school much easier. This provision is available in limited numbers on a first come, first served basis (not available on a Friday).
If you require further information about our nursery provision then please contact the school office on 01702 559467.
Please note that there is a separate admissions process to get a place at Westwood Academy on entry to the reception year.
To be clear: attendance at the Westwood nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school for reception year.
Details of our admission process for the main school can be found here.
