We are an inclusive, nurturing Nursery School in which we work together with children and their families to make positive, successful relationships. We have a clear vision of what we want to achieve at Lee Royd Nursery School.
Our Image of the Child at Lee Royd Nursery School Staff, parents and Governors at Lee Royd Nursery School have worked together to create this list of valuable feelings, qualities and characteristics that we think best describe what we see when a child is happily involved in their play and learning effectively our 'Image of the Child'.
These are our aims for your children when they come to spend time with us. As a school we are required to teach 5 Fundamental British Values, which are : Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Respect and Tolerance. These are all embedded as part of our ethos and practice.
To make them meaningful for our children and school community, we have adopted them as our "Lee Royd Values". Morning session: 9:00 – 12:00 Additional sessions are £18 Afternoon session: 12:45 – 15:45 Additional sessions are £18 After School Club: 15:45 – 16:30 Sessions are £5
