Nursery Admissions

Welcome to Nursery! Croeso i`r Feithrinfa!

We welcome all our fabulous three year olds to Penclawdd Primary School, the day after their third birthday.

Our vision at Penclawdd Nursery is to support every child in their quest to become the best they can be, through engaging them in our rich learning environment and caring for them with genuine affection. We foster a passion for learning and exploration that will last your child a lifetime and instil in them moral values which respect the environment as well as people and their cultures. Our children will leave us with excellent skills of independence, an ability to engage in meaningful play, and knowledge that they are capable, loveable, and valuable members of the community.

Our Nursery `Penguins` Team is as follows:

Early Years Lead : Mrs. Nichola Davies.

Nursery Penguins Lead : Mrs. Kayleigh Thomas

Nursery Penguins Teaching Assistant : Ms Rebecca Griffiths

We would LOVE to meet you and would be delighted to arrange a visit for you to meet Mrs. Thomas and staff to view our super indoor and outdoor Nursery environment.

During your visit, you will be able to see the indoor and outdoor learning environment and our extensive grounds. Please give us a call for a chat if you`d like to ask us any questions or contact us via the contact form below. We would love to hear from you.

Applications are made by completing the form shown below.

Here are a few things that Estyn said about our Nursery provision in November 2022?

`Pupils at Penclawdd Primary School relish attending school`.

`Pupils feel safe and well cared for`.

`Pupils' well-being is at the heart of the school and staff work hard to ensure that the school is a thoughtful and inclusive environment.`

`The youngest pupils develop their knowledge of letter sounds effectively and thoroughly engage with a wide range of interesting reading books`.

`From a young age they begin to use their digital skills constructively in a rich range of learning experiences across learning areas`.

`They concentrate and listen well, for example with younger pupils enjoying a story about Cinderella`.

`The school provides a broad and stimulating curriculum and staff plan exciting engagement visits to encourage learner enthusiasm. For example, pupils in reception experienced a visit to Castell Coch and this inspired younger pupils to learn more about traditional tales`.

`Throughout the day, teachers’ use of language, both in English and Welsh is highly effective, such as when the youngest pupils experience words such as ‘aghast’ and ‘saunter’ whilst adults talk about their own experiences.`
