RoundthornOur Nursery
Welcome to Roundthorn Primary Academy Nursery
We have a 52 place Nursery (26 places for morning and 26 places for the afternoon) where our children are taught by qualified teachers.
Our classroom is well resourced and equipped to encourage learning, independence and adventure. We have an amazing outdoor provision which can be accessed in all weathers to make the most of our learning and our understanding of the world.
Our school has a sensory room to support our learning and we are proud to be a Therapeutic School
We are a Communication Friendly Setting
We offer the REAL project to families. This is a targeted programme for selected children which aims to support literacy development by working with them and their parents in the home setting. REAL events are also held in school every term where the parents of all children who attend the Nursery are invited to attend and join in.

Our learning
Look at the amazing things that we do in our classroom
Home learning tasks which are based on the children's experiences are sent home every week and children are given the opportunity to take a book home from our lending library to share with their family.
