Our Nursery

Starting your child's journey with us at Furzefield Primary Academy, part of the LEO Academy Trust, means they are embarking on a truly exciting adventure. Our nursery is where a love of learning begins, and we are committed to providing a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for every child.

We are proud to offer a vibrant, newly redesigned indoor and outdoor learning environment specially tailored for 2 to 4-year-olds—designed to inspire curiosity, exploration, and play. Looking ahead, we are also thrilled to be expanding our provision to welcome babies from 9 months old.

Our Nursery Experience

We believe that learning should be fun and engaging. Our approach is centered around play-based learning, encouraging children to explore, discover and develop new skills at their own pace. We provide a state of the art, fully air-conditioned nursery environment where curiosity is sparked and lifelong friendships are made.

Tailored Indoor & Outdoor Learning Spaces

Our nursery features a thoughtful design with age-appropriate learning areas created to cater to every step of early development:

• Dedicated Baby Room (from 9 months): A warm, soothing space featuring its own private outdoor play area.

• 2-Year-Old Room: Specifically designed to foster early independence, complete with child-height toilets and sinks, as well as a dedicated, secure outdoor space.

• 3 to 4-Year-Old Room: A vibrant, continuous-provision learning space tailored to prepare children for school, promoting independent choice, early literacy and problem-solving.

Nursery-Wide Facilities & Outdoors:

• Dedicated Sleep Room: A calm, quiet sanctuary designed for peaceful rest and naps whenever children need it throughout the day.

• Nursery Kitchen: Dedicated facilities allowing us to prepare fresh, healthy snacks every day.

• Inspiring Outdoor Spaces: Our vibrant outdoor areas has a large sandpit, creative kitchen, and hands-on construction areas, allowing children to build, create and imagine in the fresh air.

Holistic Growth & School Community

The nursery is an integral part of our school community, with a dedicated team working closely with each child to build the crucial foundations needed for a successful transition into Reception.

Beyond our indoor and outdoor nursery areas, we place a strong focus on physical and outdoor education. Our unique Forest School program allows even our youngest learners to connect with nature and build resilience, while LEO Sport Specialists ensure physical development is prioritised through a diverse range of active play.
