Celebrating Our Climate‑Ready Classroom Award Achievement May 2026 - The Weatherbies visited our school today to help us celebrate receiving this fantastic award. They were delighted to see all the wonderful eco‑work happening in Nursery and how we use their characters to help our children learn about climate change from such a young age. Their visit recognised the creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment shown by our pupils as they explore weather, sustainability, and caring for our world.

Planting bulbs for spring in the autumn sunshine!

23rd Oct 2025
Today, the children spent the entire morning outdoors, planting their spring bulbs with Ms Henry in the Bligh's Lane Nursery Eco garden. For many, this was their first experience of planting flowers and we know that will take pride in their work as they watch the shoots appear in early springtime followed by the flowering plants. In Bligh's Lane Nursery School we believe in the magic of hands-on, sensory-rich experiences. This helps connect children to nature, encourages creativity and helps them build a knowledge of 'The World Around' them at the most important stage in their learning.
