Making a difference. All of our children, all of the time
Welcome to the website for Castle Vale Nursery School. I hope you will be able to find all the information you need whether you are looking for a school for your child, have a child who attends our school or are someone with an interest in our school. Our staff team work tirelessly for our children to help them become the best little people they can be. Our school provides individualised learning through effective adult interactions in a free flow, child initiated learning environment. Children access Forest School sessions every week and learn independence and life skills through many varied and practical activities including woodwork, risky play, taking care of our animals and cooking. We love to be outdoors and take pride in our sensory and messy play. Please feel free to browse our site and ask us any questions you have. We are very proud of what we do but are always keen to improve. If there is any way we can do even better, please let us know at help@castlevalenursery.co.uk. Also use the email address, call 01216757578 or come in and speak to me if you have any concerns or a complaint about what we do. We will always want to hear from you and talk it through. You can also find a copy of our complaints policy in the policies section. Policies

Update for all children
We are closing to all children at 12:30 p.m. today and tomorrow. This is for the safety of the children. Please collect your full time children at 12:30 p.m. and do not bring your afternoon children in.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.
Heatwave update for Rainbow children for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday.
We have just about managed to ventilate the inside of Rainbow today with it being cooler in the morning. However, it is hotter much earlier in the day tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday, and with more children inside, keeping the room well ventilated and cool enough is going to be a challenge.
We are going to monitor the temperature inside closely tomorrow morning. I am hoping for us to remain open for Rainbow children, but can all parents of full time children (blue, purple, red) be prepared to collect their children early at 12:00 p.m. if needed and afternoon children (green and yellow) be prepared to keep their children at home.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Courtney, you absolutely can.
Can we keep them off, if we choose?
