Welcome to Brougham Street Community Nursery School. We are a Local Authority Maintained Community Nursery School and Childcare located in the heart of Skipton, Gateway to the Dales.

We are unique in Skipton as we are a 'not for profit' nursery as we are maintained by North Yorkshire Council. We combine the benefits of Early Years Education with the flexibility of wrap-around childcare.

We are a standalone nursery, and as such we are not affiliated with any particular primary school.

We cater for children aged 3 months to 4 years old and have high expectations for all of our children and we firmly believe that these first years of life are the most important, and are where children gain their thirst and enthusiasm for learning.

Brougham Street Nursery School offers 15 free hour funded places for children from 9 months old to 2 year olds, and both the 15 and 30 funded hours for 3 and 4 year olds.

Please visit our Admissions page for more information.If you would like to arrange a visit to our Nursery please contact Ayesha on 01609 797052 admin@broughamstreet.n-yorks.sch.uk, or via our Contact Page.

This week we said a very fond farewell to our Treetop (also known as our pirate ship, rocket, house, train, aeroplane, den, climbing frame etc etc.)

Over the past 15 years our treetop has been played in for hours on end by hundreds of Brougham Street children but unfortunately the wood has become unsafe and rotten.

On Friday the workmen came, which meant that we couldn’t play outside. We watched and waited patiently whilst they took down the treetop piece by piece and carried the bits away.

This led to us imagining that we were also fixing things too. We put on our high-viz jackets, grabbed our tape measures and started to fix things in nursery. It was magical seeing the child-led play.

We cannot wait to see the next phase of our outdoor provision as it develops. Watch this space…

We couldn’t have put it more perfectly if we tried.

This is absolutely the ethos that we have here at Brougham Street.

Ensuring that the time that the children spend here with us allows them the best possible start in life.

Everything we do is for the children.

Given the cold snowy weather we’ve had this week, we have explored sensory snow today in our baby room!❄️

We had fun exploring the texture and mark making with our fingers and with the artic animals!🌨🦭🐻‍❄️

We identified penguins, seals and polar bears! (Linking the polar bear to our core text!)🦭🐻‍❄️🐧

We also had glitter snow flakes for that bit of snowy sparkle!✨

To end the activity we’ve put “the snowman” on too further the snow context! ❄️ We’ve identified some more animals watching the snowman!

As part of our enquiries into ‘How can we get there?’ The Education Ambulance came to see us.

We had so many questions to ask and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to explore inside the ambulance.

What an incredible experience. @yorksambulance @skiptonlife #eyfs #nursery #ambulance #educationambulance #experience #opportunities #morethananursery

Did you know that our staff are Forest School Practitioners? We love our weekly trips to The Wilderness in Skipton. Today we collected our favourite autumn treasures. #skipton #woodlandwalk #stream #autummera #forestschool #eyfsinspiration

It’s been the busiest of weeks here at Brougham Street after we received an important telephone call on Monday morning!

I am sat here quietly reflecting on the past five days. The wealth of learning opportunities that the children and staff have had this week has been amazing as always.

I am going into the weekend with the fire roaring away, stoked up with popping and crackling logs and I am feeling extremely privileged to be part of the most phenomenal staff team.

Whatever you do this weekend make sure that you take time to slow right down, be present and be thankful.

It’s that time of year again where Illness is on the prowl🫣

So in our baby room today we introduced the doctors set! 🩺🥼🩻

We explored the stethoscope, syringe, blood pressure monitor, medicine bottle, thermometer and reflex hammer! All items that children may come across at the doctors!

We had so much fun exploring these items and how to use them! So IF any of our children have to visit the doctors (but hopefully not!) They are familiar and used to these medical items and the experience won’t be scary!😊

Today we were privileged to take part in the Skipton Remembrance Parade and stand proudly alongside the Skipton Community.

This week at nursery we have been learning all about Remembrance Sunday and the meaning of wearing poppies with pride. The children have worked together to make our very own wreath and we proudly laid it at the cenotaph at the top of the high street this morning.

On Tuesday our baby room hosted a “Babble n Brew” Which is initially a coffee morning for parents to come and socialise with each other and also a fantastic opportunity to meet with their children’s key people. The baby room holds Babble n Brews as often as they can!

At this specific one we celebrated Diwali the festival of light. The lovely Neeta had celebrated Diwali at home with her family the week before. She kindly brought in hers and her children’s old Diwali outfits. The children had so much fun trying them on. We had a clay activity to try and make “Diya”s !

We also explored rangoli powder and patterns throughout the whole setting.

Happy Diwali to those who celebrate 🪔

Here at Brougham Street we absolutely love Loose Parts Play. The open-ended nature of loose parts play and heuristic play allows children to explore and investigate in their own unique way. Take a look at what we have been up to… nurserynook #looseplayparts #eyfs #provision #skipton

Yesterday we held our very first bonfire night! 🔥
We would like to thank all the families who were lucky enough to have got tickets in time, it was such a warming and wonderful evening!🎆

We hope to hold more events like this in the future🎆

A BIG shout out to all of our lovely staff and family who kindly offered their spare time to help make this event possible! 🔥

This afternoon our children enjoyed a special half term treat @starbucksskipton ☕️

All the children enjoyed a babyccino and a Carmel waffle☕️🍪

Happy Diwali to our very own Neeta and our families and friends who are celebrating.
Wishing you all a Diwali filled with endless joy, warmth, and light. #diwali #light #eyfs #celebrations #values

Come and join in with the fun. Speak to Ayesha or Lydie in the office to see what availability we have. #welcome #funtimes #nursery #skipton #family #happiness #northyorkshire

This afternoon our children returned from a walk out and found something sitting on the bench… We found a gift- “If you have found this book it is dedicated to Brodie Oscar for baby loss awareness month. This is your gift to keep. All we ask is for you to share it to our Facebook page that you have found it, send your picture to Sunbeam support group- Keighley and Craven”

So that’s what we did! We opened the gift to find a lovely book inside which will be shared with our children in the setting dedicated to Brodie Oscar and the Sunbeam support group! ⭐️

We also lit a candle in honour of Brodie Oscar and all other babies that where too special for this world🌈

Today some of our babies and toddlers have had a lovely adventure to Salts Mill! 🏭 #eyfs #opportunities #enhancements #nursery #saltsmillsaltaire #broughamstreetnursery #earlyyears #babies #toddlers #preschool #adventure #learning

We are delighted to be opening our Brougham Street Nursery doors to our families for a Bonfire Night event. @skiptonguide #bonfirenight #fireworks #katieperry #community #parentinvolvement

It was at Skipton train station where nursery school children found another answer to their project question “how could we get there?”

There they learned how to buy a ticket and scan it to pass through the barriers onto the platform.

Cath, who works in the ticket office, kindly issued all of the children with a ticket and led them onto the platform, where she introduced the children to a train driver and conductor and explained their jobs.

The children watched excitedly as the signals changed when the conductor pressed a button on the platform and happily waved the train Leeds out of the station on its journey.

What an exciting visit!

It is Safety Sunday and today we are sharing a superb resource from @wake.up.wednesday

Firework safety is extremely important, not just for our children, but a reminder for us grown ups helps too.

Here are some top tips for us all to follow:

Yesterday the youngest children here at Brougham Street went out in their buggies with Ann and Nicky. One of our babies loves trains so we HAD to go to the station!
We waved goodbye to our very own Katie at the station as she was going to Saltaire to plan another exciting trip. @skiptonlife @saltsmillofficial #eyfs #skiptonbabies #trainstation #trainstagram

Here at Brougham Street Community Nursery School the outdoors plays a key role in our Early Years curriculum offer.
We are extremely lucky that we have staff who are Forest School practitioners, meaning that we can zip up our waterproof jackets, pull on our wellington boots and head out to @skiptonwilderness to explore.
On World Mental Health Day we cannot think of anything better to do than spend time at Forest School.

Autumn is in full swing here at Brougham Street. It’s a cool, crisp, but sunny morning and we are making the most of our local area.

Let’s wrap up warm in our waterproofs and go on an adventure. #pumpkins #waterproofs #crispmorningair❄️ #visits #forestschool #autumn #autumnvibes🍁

Take a sneak peek into our amazing toddler room.

You will find us learning all about the season Autumn.

We loved reading The Tiger Who Came to Tea and enjoyed celebrating with our own tea party.

In our room we now have pumpkins, scented play dough, autumn themed small world areas and an inviting outdoor area.

Our new book that we have started to read is the The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. A mouse took a stroll in the deep dark wood…

The question which Nursery School children are seeking to answer this term is “how could we get there?”

In search of an answer, some of the children have visited Skipton Bus Station. There they saw many different types of buses , including mini buses and double deckers. Each visit was accompanied of course by renditions of “the wheels on the bus”.

The children had a fabulous time looking at different features of the buses and finding out how to get on a bus. We looked at bus timetables, bus numbers, route maps and clocks to help us understand how to get on the right bus to go to a particular destination.

We met some of the bus drivers too... one showed us how to buy a ticket on a bus and showed us a ticket machine. Lucas even let us sit on his bus, take it in turns to sit in the drivers seat, and even showed us the engine at the back of the bus!
What an exciting visit! We will be able to use what we have seen and learned from our visit to create a role play area. #eyfs #outdooreducation #enhancements #followingaquestion #nursery #wheelsonthebus

Our Nursery School children have been engrossed in their new learning project.
Can you guess what it might be?
