About us
We are a nursery linked to the primary phase of Teignmouth Primary School, located at the top of Mill Lane, led by fully qualified teachers.
The nursery has two rooms and ample outdoor environments to explore.
We take children from age two upwards, and we welcome them to start at any point during the term time.
You can see what your child is up to during the day with us at nursery via the Seesaw app. It is a great way for us to communicate between school and home and allows you to upload photos, videos and comments of your child’s achievements too.
We currently have availability for our nursery so please contact Mrs Elver kerry.elver@teignmouthschool.co.uk or contact us on 01626 772320 to find out more.
Please take a look at our nursery information page.

Summer 1
Our topic for the first half of the summer term is ‘Traditional Tales’.
We will be exploring various traditional tales but will focus particularly on ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’, ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and ‘Goldilocks’. We will use these tales as the basis of our literacy work, where we will look at clapping syllables, spotting rhymes, recognising initial sounds, exploring books and early writing, among other skills. We will focus our fine motor work on pencil and paintbrush grip to help with this.
In maths, we will continue to develop number skills, aiming to count to 10 and making marks to represent 5. We will also compare amounts, explore and name shapes, and look at repeating patterns.
We hope to spend more time outside during this term and will look at natural materials that we find, see what happens when we leave ice outside and look at the lifecycle of plants – hopefully watching the pumpkin seeds that we harvested and planted grow! We will look at the lifecycle of butterflies and investigate shadows, too.
We will carry on singing songs and rhymes, practising and adapting sequences of movements to go with them. We will use instruments and simple percussion to develop our songs even further.
In expressive art, we will refine what we are creating, creating more detailed and complex pieces of art. We’ll continue to experiment with different materials and mediums, too.
We have an exciting half term ahead – we’re all looking forward to it!
