Compass Primary School

Nursery

Our beautiful modern, purpose built Nursery opened in September 2019. Our provision offers exceptional facilities for specialised and individualised play based learning. Our team is run by an experienced Early Years Practitioner, Mrs McGovern with her caring, friendly team of skilled Nursery staff.

We promote child led learning through our provision which encourages independence, imagination, curiosity and creativity, fuelled by the children’s interests.

Our nursery allows a seamless transition to Peckover Primary School. Our Nursery children have a uniform which follows the PE uniform of the main school. Each child will receive a complementary bag containing a t- shirt and sweat shirt. See uniform poster under our uniform tab for details. 

We have up to 52 places available for 3-4 year olds, we offer breakfast club and after school club. Please contact the office for details:

office@peckoverprimary.org

The nursery provision at Peckover will adopt the same admissions policy as set by the main school. See below for oversubscription criteria.
