Welcome to Our Nursery Class
At Astrea Academy Sheffield – Primary Phase, our Nursery Class is a warm, joyful space where young learners (ages 3–4) begin their exciting educational journey. Every day is filled with curiosity, creativity, and care, helping children grow in confidence and develop a love for learning.
A Nurturing Environment
Our classroom is designed to feel like a second home. With bright colours, cosy reading corners, creative play areas, and a large outdoor space, children feel safe and inspired. We support each child emotionally and socially, helping them form friendships, express themselves, and settle into school life at their own pace.
Learning through Play
Play is at the heart of everything we do. Our curriculum blends structured learning with imaginative play, allowing children to explore letters, numbers, shapes, colours, and the world around them in fun, hands-on ways. Activities include:
- Story Time & Early Literacy
- Creative Arts & Music
- Counting & Sorting Games
- Water & Sand Play
- Nature Walks & Outdoor Exploration
Building Social & Life Skills
This age is all about learning how to be part of a group, take turns, and share. Our staff gently guide children in:
- Developing friendships
- Building confidence and independence
- Expressing needs and emotions
- Learning routines and classroom expectations
Healthy Habits
We encourage healthy habits every day, including:
- Washing hands
- Trying new foods at snack and lunch time
- Resting and relaxing after active play
- Dressing for the weather and looking after belongings
Caring, Experienced Staff
Our Nursery teachers and teaching assistants are trained in early childhood education and bring warmth, energy, and patience to every moment. They closely observe and support each child, helping them meet milestones while celebrating their unique personalities.
We believe that happy childhoods create confident learners.
