Nursery Consultation
We have opened a consultation regarding the development of a new nursery provision at Coppice Valley Primary School, set to open in September 2026. This consultation is part of the planning process that the Local Authority requires schools to undertake when proposing a change to provision.
The consultation relates to our proposal to introduce nursery provision for 26 three-year-old children. This expansion reflects a growing demand for early years education in our community, including an increased need for accessible childcare as the local area develops. By providing a nursery, we aim to create a smooth transition for young children into primary education, supporting their early development and providing families with a high-quality, local option for pre-school care.
Our proposed nursery will be based in a thoughtfully renovated space, with new resources designed specifically for early years learning. We hope the project will be funded by a grant and will include the renovation of our existing bungalow and an extension to ensure ample room for a range of stimulating activities. The nursery will have access to a dedicated outdoor space, as well as our own school grounds, enabling us to provide a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment that supports children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Without this provision, we anticipate that some families in our area may face limited access to nursery education. We therefore encourage all consultees to respond to this consultation, as it will allow Coppice Valley Primary School to serve our community’s needs more comprehensively and ensure more children experience an engaging, high-quality start to their education journey.
Consultation Timeframe - CLOSED
The consultation opened on Monday 18th November and the deadline for responding with any comments was Friday 6th December at 5pm.
Thank you to everyone who attended our consultation evening on Thursday 5th December, at 6:30pm in the main hall.
Nursery Application Successful
We are absolutely delighted to share that we have been successful in securing a £150,000 grant to open nursery provision for 26 three-year-olds from September 2026! This is a significant step forward for our school and community, ensuring high-quality early years education in a nurturing environment. Over the coming months, we will be working on plans for the new provision, and we will keep you updated as things progress.
Thank you for your continued support – whether it's encouraging reading at home, attending school events, or simply being part of our school community. We are so grateful for everything you do.
