Walton Nurture

Exceptional Learning Environment for Early Years

Our facilities are well-equipped to provide an excellent learning environment for children aged 4-5. All children attending have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) and benefit from individualised support and guidance. Our focus is on helping each child develop their independence, communication, and essential learning skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for the next steps in their educational journey.

Walton Nurture: Preparing Children for Success

Walton Nurture offers an intensive, year-long, intervention-based program designed to prepare children for seamless transitions—either into Cavendish View or their next educational setting. Our current cohort of children primarily require support in communication and sensory regulation, with many having a diagnosis of Autism and associated conditions. We are dedicated to providing the specialised care and interventions needed to help each child thrive in their educational journey.

At Walton Nurture provision we understand that every child is different and unique in their own development. We are so proud to play a part in this journey and look forward to nurturing them to develop their independence and communication skills.

This year is a significant strand in your child’s introduction to education. There is strong emphasis on engaging key professionals to support the implementation of individual programmes. Such as: Sensory circuits, Speech and Language Therapy, Play Therapy and Physiotherapy. We work alongside parents and carer’s to support their understanding of their child’s needs and upskill them in communication strategies such as Makaton, Bucket Therapy and PECs.

The Nurture Way

The Walton Nurture team, in collaboration with School Improvement Liverpool, has developed a person-centred curriculum specifically designed for our provision. This bespoke curriculum is carefully structured to support children’s development in key areas such as independence, communication, health and wellbeing, and understanding of the world around them.

At Walton Nurture, we place pupil needs at the forefront of everything we do, ensuring sensitivity to all areas of development. By aligning our planning and learning activities with individual EHCP outcomes and curriculum milestones, we provide focused, personalised support that helps each child reach their full potential.

At Walton Nurture, we take pride in celebrating and sharing our pupils’ progress using Class Dojo and Evidence for Learning. Progress and achievements are carefully charted each term and shared with parents and carers, ensuring they are fully informed and involved in their child’s development. Our engaging curriculum is designed to foster enquiring minds while focusing on building relationships and developing a strong sense of self.

In our Nurture program, we emphasize the importance of play as a means to build social skills, encouraging children to develop tolerance, negotiation, anticipation, and shared attention. Daily play sessions with a variety of toys provide ample social opportunities and help children learn essential skills for working with others.

A key feature of our Nurture provision is the creation of a safe and secure environment where pupils can thrive. Relationships are built and maintained on a foundation of trust and routine, optimising learning through ever-changing activities and sensory exploration. Our environment is not only stimulating and accessible but also promotes self-direction and independence. From making food and activity choices to selecting appropriate clothing for the weather, children are encouraged to make decisions that foster their independence.
