James Cambell Primary School Nursery offers a warm, nurturing environment where children are given the very best start to their education. Our nursery is led by a fully qualified teacher, ensuring high-quality early learning that prepares children for a smooth and confident transition into school. Through a balance of play, exploration and structured learning, we support children to develop important skills in communication, independence and social development. We accept both the 15-hour and 30-hour government funding codes and also offer funded nursery places, helping to make our provision accessible for families.
 
Is your child born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023? If so, they could be eligible to join our nursery in September 2026! If you have a child of the right age, please pop into the school office to complete an interest form and find out more about securing a place. If you know of families with younger siblings who may also be eligible, please share the news – we still have spaces available for September 2026 and would love to welcome them to our nursery community.

A very warm welcome to James Cambell Primary School, a school that is committed to providing the children with the opportunities they deserve – and they deserve the best!

Our children are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring they receive exciting and engaging learning experiences through a rich and varied curriculum, delivered in a safe and nurturing environment. At James Cambell we believe in building children’s oracy and love of reading and ensure our children have lots of opportunities to speak publicly and become lifelong readers. We want our children to love their time at school, make great academic progress, and be ready for future success.

Our dedicated and friendly staff team are committed to making this happen, working in close partnership with parents, carers and the local community. We are a very welcoming school and love to invite families in to join us – during parents’ evenings, culture days, Christmas and summer fairs, poetry and singing festivals and year group assemblies.

We value inclusion and are proud to be part of a diverse community with over 40 different languages being spoken at the school.

We invite you to explore our website and find out more about our wonderful school. Better still, if you are a potential parent or member of our community, then please do come and meet us. We would be only too happy to show you around.
