Curledge Street King’s Ash Academy is part of the TSAT along with Furzeham Primary School, Brixham Community College, Paignton Academy and Curledge Street Academy.
It is a large inclusive community in which everyone is encouraged to respect each other and the things around them. The school is an open, friendly and happy place where everybody works together to achieve their best.
Our two year old nursery and pre-school provide rich, varied, engaging experiences where children are at the centre of their learning. We are focused on developing children’s curiosities, giving them time to explore and actively engaging them in their learning. Our belief is that children are at their highest levels of engagement when playing, therefore a play-based approach is at the heart of our Early Years curriculum. We give children time to play in an environment with endless possibilities balanced with adult-led teaching in phonics, writing and maths.
All staff are highly experienced and qualified.
Parental involvement is valued within our nursery. We offer home visits, free settling in sessions, meeting with parents regularly and use a designated key worker system (2 year Nursery).
As well as paid sessions, we also offer 15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds (also the extra 15 hours for those who meet the criteria) and funded childcare for 2 year olds under the local scheme. Visits are warmly welcomed. Please contact the school to arrange.
We also offer wrap-around care running from 8am-5pm.
