We welcome you and your child to our school and hope that your child will be very happy here. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with parents and families, having an open door policy to talk about any issues that arise.
Curriculum
Last academic year we were an early-adopter school for the new EYFS curriculum which is now statutory from September 2021. The curriculum focuses on high-quality, engaged teaching, with less focus on observation and puts a lot of emphasis on language development and interaction.
Staffing
Our Nursery is staffed by two experienced teachers (job-share) and two equally experienced teaching assistants (one morning and one afternoon).
Environment
We have a dedicated, stimulating, well-resourced indoor and outdoor classroom and also make much use of our lovely school grounds including adventure playground and wooded area.
Sessions
We offer the following Nursery sessions and accept 15 and 30 hours funding. Extra sessions can be paid for:
9am-12pm
12pm-3pm
3pm-3.30pm (This is an additional, paid session)
All children are eligible for 15 hours Nursery provision per week. More information on eligibility for 30 hours funding can be found at:

What next?
You can register your child for our Nursery at any age. Please contact the school office on 01969 623187 or leyburn@ycatschools.co.uk to get a registration form. We also welcome visits to our Nursery.
During the term before your child is due to start Nursery we will contact you with more detailed information and the opportunity for you to visit our setting with your child. We look forward to meeting you and your child and starting their school journey with them!
