Early Years Foundation Stage is where your child’s learning journey begins. At Childwall Valley Primary School we have amazing, fun and exciting Nursery and Reception classes, we now offer a 30 hour provision in our amazing foundation unit.
At Childwall Valley our intent is to create a fun, safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident and independent. We design our curriculum with the children to enthuse learners to ensure children are provided with a range of rich, meaningful first-hand experiences in which children explore, are encouraged to be reflective, think creatively and are actively involved in learning.
Please read through the following information however if you have any questions or suggestions then please do not hesitate to contact us.

What People Are Saying
‘‘Although my son has only started school on 2nd September, he has settled into Reception very well all thanks to Miss Merrison and all the support staff. So far, I have been impressed with the daily updates they have provided, all the friendly staff upon arrival at the school gates and most of all the interactive learning for children. It’s different and that’s what I think makes this school stands out. I’m excited to see what the next coming years will be like for my son and watch him evolve in a superb school.’’

— Reception Parent
“The teachers have all been brilliant and are so informative with everything my child is doing.”
“Nursery and reception mixed together is brilliant as are the teachers, and Forrest school.
Tapestry allows me to see what they have been up to. As sometimes it's hard getting answers off a 4-year-old about their day.”
“Small school, where all the staff get to know the children well. The school strongly promotes reading. Good channels of communication with the teachers”
“The school’s staff are so friendly, caring & compassionate. Since starting the school’s Nursery in May our granddaughter has progressed so much. We are overwhelmed by the support & encouragement she has received from all the nursery teachers so far & at how well she is doing & the friends she has made. The wide variety of learning too. Spanish, forestry etc is just a few of the things that make our granddaughter wake up & want to go to nursery every morning. Lastly the school’s communication system tapestry is fab at keeping us informed as to what our children are doing & learning. Overall, we are so happy we chose this school for our granddaughter.”
