In September 2023, Ashbourne Primary School opened a school nursery. Our friendly, well-equipped nursery, including an enclosed outdoor area, provides a stimulating environment for children to begin their educational journey. Our teacher-led nursery is enhanced by a highly qualified team, who work together to plan and provide exciting activities and learning opportunities, to help your child make the best possible start. 

Children are welcome to join our nursery from the term after they turn 3 years old (September/January/April).  If you would like to discuss your child starting our nursery or put your child’s name on our waiting list, please complete an application form and email nursery@ashbourneprimary.derbyshire.sch.uk
