Wallace Road Nursery School

Wallace Road Nursery School, established in 1942, is a local authority nursery located in Northampton, serving a mixed-gender population of 49 pupils. The nursery focuses on delivering child-centred early education, emphasising the importance of building strong relationships with each child. The experienced staff aim to foster an environment where children feel happy, confident, valued, engaged, and curious.

The nursery operates two daily sessions, with options for 15 or 30 hours of funded early education, depending on eligibility. Children are encouraged to explore their surroundings and choose resources, promoting independence and engagement in their learning. The curriculum is designed to support children in taking measured risks while ensuring their safety, allowing them to understand their limits and capabilities.

Additionally, Wallace Road Nursery collaborates with Oscars Club for families needing before and after school care. The nursery's commitment to nurturing each child's individual interests and needs is reflected in positive feedback from Ofsted, highlighting the supportive atmosphere and the ambition for children to become self-motivated learners.
