• Reading
• Meet our Learning Powers!

Welcome to Nursery

We are proud to welcome you to our wonderful nursery here at Sandbach Primary Academy. Our Nursery is the first step of the journey for our children and we strive to ensure that all of our children have nothing but the best start in their ‘school’ life. 

In Nursery, your child will be supported by: Mrs Corbett, Miss Vernon and Mrs Chambers.

We are fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderful grounds; we have a woodland area, outdoor classroom and a large field for endless opportunities for learning and fun. We value the outdoor environment and see this as a continuation of our indoor environment to extend our learning.

We are very proud of the care and support we provide both our children and their families. We understand that all children are unique and learn in different ways. The day to day activities are adapted to suit the needs and interests to make their time with us both stimulating and fun. Our children learn and develop in a safe, happy and exciting environment and will be ready for school at the end of their time with us. 

Starting from nursery, we nurture a love of reading books, stories and poems, click here to find out more about our approach to early reading.

General Reminders

• We encourage the children to bring in their own water bottles which they can access throughout the day.
• When the weather is warmer, please apply sun cream before your child comes to school every morning and bring in a hat with your child's name on it. For children that are with us for a full day, please provide a named bottle of sun cream daily, so that we can re-apply for the afternoon session. 
• When the weather is colder (and wet), please remember to send your child with a hat and gloves. It is helpful to leave a pair or named wellington boots in school for when we work in the outside classroom, woodland area or school field.
• Library books will be sent home with your child on a Monday (or later in the week if they do not attend on Mondays). It is important that these books are returned every week please. 
• Please try to read to your child as often as possible. This is a great time to bond with your child and create a love for books and reading. Reading together is one of our favourite times in nursery.
• Whilst your children are learning through play, they may get their clothes messy. We therefore encourage you to send them in clothes that are comfortable, practical and that the children can manage themselves. You might like to send a number of changes of clothing with your child each day including socks and pants.
