Fairfield Park Lower School is forward thinking school located in Central Bedfordshire on the Hertfordshire boarder. We provide children with a rich and exciting education which is relevant to them and which develops their skills and abilities.

All children are treated as individuals. We put the children at the heart of everything we do. The environment that we provide is nurturing and caring. We ensure there are no barriers to learning.

We believe children need to be nurtured and developed as individuals to enable them to become lifelong learners and good citizens. We are a highly successful values based school built on the partnership between pupils, parents/carers, staff, governors and the local community, due to our shared vision of high expectations. We, as a school, pride ourselves in ensuring that we achieve quality in all that we do.

Nursery Provision

Fairfield Park Lower School offers a school run Nursery for 3 and 4 year olds at both the Dickens Boulevard site and Ruskin Drive site. Our Nursery classes are warm, friendly, inviting places for parents and carers too, where we work together in partnership. Each class has a room leader who works as part of a dedicated team of well qualified practitioners who are also paediatric first aid trained. The team work together across both sites to ensure that children have the best start to their educational journey from an early age. A dedicated Assistant Head for Early Years works with all staff to monitor standards, deliver training, oversee outstanding quality of teaching and learning as well as delivering a bespoke curriculum that enhances each child’s character.

We aim:
to ensure children are caring, kind and respectful to those around them following our school values

to give children opportunities to be curious, make good progress and enjoy their learning and make it memorable

to take into account what children already know and can do in order to build our curriculum

to ensure children’s play is valued and used to teach many aspects of the curriculum

to engage parents in their child’s education and work in dual partnership to ensure a positive experience

to encourage each child has good dispositions and attitudes to learning so they are ready for the next step in their education journey into main school (Reception year)

The Nursery Room Leader will hold an Early Years level 3 qualification and have experience of working in an Early Years setting. This is a term time only position, working 7.45am - 3.15pm with a 1 hour unpaid lunch break.
