Unfortunately we have many staff members absent with COVID and following advice we have had to ask parents where possible to make alternative arrangements for their children, up to and including Wednesday 19th January.

We will keep parents updated with arrangements via e-mail.

We do apologise for the short notice and inconvenience, however, we are unable to operate as normal due to decreased staffing and we are trying to keep our children, families and staff as safe as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Have you remembered to apply for a school place?

The final date to do this is 15th January 2022, if you miss this deadline you may not get a place of your choice for your child starting school in September. Please contact the School Office for further information.

Please remember to reconfirm your child’s 30 hour code, every 3 months. If you do not do this your child may not be eligible to stay for full days.

You can view our Christmas Jumper videos for Nursery and Early Learners on our website.

A big hello to all our children and families joining Early Learners and Nursery. We are looking forward to meeting you all and hope you have a wonderful time with us.

Don’t forget to add your child’s name to the waiting list for a place at Seaham Harbour Nursery School for both Early Learners and Nursery.

Please contact us via email seahamharbour.nursery@durhamlearning.net or on 0191 5812829 to register your child’s name on the waiting lists.

We have added a COVID Checker (issued by GOV.uk) to our website.  This includes useful “What to do If” and “Action Needed”  guidance and information for your child.

You can view or download the COVID Checker on our COVID 19 Information page.

What a fantastic start to the new school year.

It has been lovely to meet all our new children and families starting on their education journey at Seaham Harbour Nursery School, in addition to all our returning children and families.

The children have been absolutely amazing and all have come in so well.

Thank you to all adults for your support and patience with our new routines and our ‘Drop and Go’ procedures and for following them so well.

Please check under the Gallery section to see a collection of photographs of both Early Learners and Nursery children during 2019/2020.

We hope you enjoy viewing the slide show.

Dear Parents and Children,

I hope you are all fit and well and looking forward to returning to some kind of normality now we are gradually emerging from lockdown. Of course we all need to remain vigilant in our social distancing and contact with others to prevent a resurgence. I think one lockdown in a lifetime is enough, don’t you? I sincerely hope you have been managing whatever your circumstances throughout lockdown, I appreciate it can’t be easy when life is so uncertain, especially with small children and financial commitments…..
